We further recommend keeping the cable lengths as short as
possible to minimize signal losses and interference. Cables at
0.5 m, 1 m, or a maximum of 2 m length are ideal. The longer
the cable needs to be, the higher the quality should be to avoid
excessive losses!
Useage of so-called BNC tee adapters
BNC tee adapters are often used to daisy-chain clock signals
between several devices. Usually this is necessary if the clock
master does not provide a sufficient number of clock outputs.
Since the REF 10 generates exceptionally low phase noise, i.e.
highest quality signals, any additional elements in the signal
path can have an attenuating effect that negatively affects the
crucial slew rate of the signal. Consequently and considering
that the REF 10 provides a total of eight clock outputs we
advise against daisy-chaining 10 MHz clock signals.
Any device that is supposed to be clocked by the REF 10 and
benefit from its audiophile performance must be connected to
a dedicated clock output!
