Quazar-500 Network Synchronisation Probe with Time Server Function

Quazar-500 Network Synchronisation Probe with Time Server Function

Product Code: Quazar-500


Brand: BitStream

Quazar-500 from BitStream is a time server with network synchronisation quality analysing properties.  It can provide qualitative analysis of up to 4 or 8 or 12 IEEE1588 PTPv.2 clock domains for profiles G.8275.1 (Telecommunications) and C37.238 (Energy), as well as 2 - 6 Synchronous Ethernet clock domains along with analysis of ITU.T - G8264 SSM messages The Quazar-500 time server is designed to provide the highest precision possible. The precision of the reference time base synchronized with GPS is better than ±15ns (Clear sky).

The BitStream Quazar-500 Network Synchronization Quality Analyzer in its basic version offers the ability to monitor parameters such as PTP 2WAY TE, PTP datasets, SyncE TIE, SyncE MTIE, SyncE TDEV, SSM(change logging). Also enabling network synchronization using signals such as: Ethernet; PPS; 10MHz; E1 G703/G.704.

The Quazar-500 has a built-in memory for data archiving allowing local storage of measurement statistics for up to 72h. A built-in LCD display allows selected parameters to be read directly on the device. BitStream also offers dedicated software for the presentation of results in the form of statistics, logs and charts.

The Quazar-500 has been designed to operate in a variety of environments. The robust IP-30 enclosure provides protection against external factors, additionally the device is adapted to operate in temperature range from -5°C to +60°C. Optional redundant power supply ensures stable operation in case of power supply failure, additionally supported by Load Balance function.
