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 REF10, respectively REF10 SE120 generates excep-
tionally low phase noise, i.e. highest quality signals, any ad-
ditional elements in the signal path can have an attenuating
effect that negatively affects the crucial slew rate of the sig-
nal. Consequently and considering that the REF10, respectively
REF10 SE120 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 REF10, res-
pectively REF10 SE120 and benefit from its audiophile perfor-
mance must be connected to a dedicated clock output!
