WR-Z16

Reliable & precise time fan-out solution for White Rabbit (basis for the new IEEE-1588-2019 High Accuracy Default profile) distribution on 1G Ethernet-based networks.The WR-Z16 is a standalone device with 16 SFP connectors which provides sub-nanosecond accuracy time over plug-and-play optical fiber links.The WR-Z16 provides very precise IEEE 1588-2008 (PTP) in all its optical interfaces and supports NTP interoperability. Picosecond-level frequency distribution is available through a fully digital clock.The WR-Z16 incorporates failover mechanisms which combine multi-source redundancy and holdover capabilities to ensure continuous operation.

The new Low Jitter version of the WR-Z family products is now available!

This new Low Jitter (LJ) capability, enabled in the new hardware version of the WR-Z products, includes improved design in order to provide better stability in the timing outputs of the system, especially for the frequency signals, as it can be seen in the corresponding datasheet.
