Timing interface
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
The timing interface provides one external timing output for ITU-T compliant 2048
kHz timing signals. It does not support timing inputs.
Connector data
The timing output is realized as 8-pin RJ45 connector suitable for symmetrical twisted
pair cables with an impedance of 120 Ω or coaxial cables with an impedance of 75 Ω.

Cable data (120 Ω, symmetrical)
Preferably a shielded twisted pair cable should be used (22 or 26 AWG).
Cable data (75 Ω, coaxial)
Preferably a MiniCoax 75Ω 2.5 mm cable should be used.
Cable connection
Please connect the timing cable as shown in the figure below.
