Time & Frequency Distribution
TFD-100 series

Modular Time & Frequency Distribution/Generating Unit

The TFD-100 series is a 1U, rack 19″ mount, modular time and frequency distribution unit. It provides the precise distribution of any frequency from 1PPS up to 10MHz include most popular standards: 1PPS (TTL), IRIG-DCLS (TTL/RS-422), 10MHz (TTL and Sine).
