| Typical Performance Specifications: | |
| Synchronised internal timing accuracy: | Dependent on synchronisation source accuracy, time elapsed from first lock and cable lengths. Typically within 100nsec of synchronisation source after 30 mins. |
| Unsynchronised holdover (TCXO): | 3.6 msec/hour (86 msec/day) |
| Client synchronisation accuracy: | Dependent on network architecture, utilisation, delays and jitter. Clients typically synchronised to within 200 µsec to 2 msec of MC2000 on a local area network. |

To operate as a dual LAN stratum 1 NTP time server, the MC2000 requires a connection from either one or two antenna systems. Listed below are the available antenna systems compatible with the MC2000 ntp server.
The GPS1000 is a high sensitivity GPS time receiver system suitable for internal or external use. Class leading availability enables system lock in urban canyon areas and provides PPS accuracy of 100 nsec.
The GPS4000 is a high accuracy GPS time receiver system incorporating anti-jam technology. System PPS accuracy of 50nsec combined with cable delay compensation provides highly accurate system timing precision.
The MSF1000 is an MSF radio time receiver suitable for internal or external use.
The DCF1000 is a DCF radio time signal receiver suitable for internal or external use.
The MC2000 dual LAN ntp server is supplied with an IEC mains cable, two CAT5 patch cables, a USB cable, four 19" rack fixing screws and four rubber feet (for non-rack mounting applications). Unless you have requested not to receive them (greener option), the system is also supplied with a CD-ROM containing the MC2000 Utilities software & USB drivers and a hard copy of the MC2000 user manual (all available from the download section).
