The DCD-523 provides modular, flexible synchronization distribution with superior performance throughout the network. The DCD-523 platform addresses timing applications from Stratum 1 to Stratum 3.
Modular design provides optimum flexibility.
Or, for slave clock applications, the DCD-523 can be equipped with a variety of clocks including the ST2E, ST2, TNC and ST3E, with outputs in any timing signal format. The DCD-523 is backwards compatible with most existing DCD cards. The user can migrate to the new DCD-523 and preserve existing equity. A fully redundant modular architecture is used throughout the DCD-523 from the reference inputs and clock cards, to the timing outputs. Automatic, hitless switching ensures continued operation if any input reference signal, input card, or on-line clock is lost.
