Adva Optical Networking FSP 150SP-100 sync probe device

The FSP 150SP-100 is a small, efficient and cost-effective sync probe device that uses Syncjack technology for timing distribution and monitoring of any network. The device supports delivery and assurance of synchronisation using Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

It has a built-in GNSS receiver and Grandmaster clock capability that can be used as measurement reference for Syncjack tools as well as an alternative timing source for frequency, phase and time-of-day delivery. With its thorough IEEE 1588v2 PTP implementation, the device can be configured to operate in slave, boundary and master clock mode to enable highly accurate clock recovery.

An internal Stratum-3E clock is capable of holdover to support remote site, head-end and feeder applications.

The device uses four Syncjack tools: Clock Probe, PTP Clock Probe, PTP Network Probe and Slave Probe. The Clock Probe is used to measure frequency and phase accuracy of a physical clock source based on TE, TIE and MTIE. The PTP Clock Probe is used for PTP clock analysis calculating TE, TIE and MTIE by using timestamps embedded in PTP messages. PTP Network Probe is used for network analysis of the PTP message transport. The Slave Probe is a default tool used for slave clock performance monitoring.

Features include: built-in GPS receiver and Grandmaster Clock functionality; precise clock accuracy measurements and enhanced statistics gathering with external, internal or even no reference; operates in passive probe, active probe and testing mode; new revenue from delivery of SLA-based synchronisation services.
