Time Distribution
NTP Sub-Master Clock

The VCL-2103 functions as an intermediate, time synchronization source which pseudo-galvanically isolates the GPS / GNSS Master Time Servers and the various devices in the LAN to provide a high level of security and time-source redundancy by directly synchronizing to multiple (up to 3) Primary GPS Reference (Master) Clocks and provide highly reliable time-of-day synchronization to secondary NTP / SNTP Slave devices such as Servers, RTUs and Display Clocks in the LAN network. The VCL-2103 Sub-Master Clock mediates between several Primary GPS Reference (Master) Clocks, based on their Stratum levels, to automatically select the most stable time source with least latency and provide the Slave NTP / SNTP devices, such as Servers, RTUs or Time-Of-Day Display Clocks in a LAN, to reliably provide NTP / SNTP time-of-day synchronization with millisecond accuracy.
