OSA 5401

SFP-based PTP grandmaster, boundary and slave clock and NTP server
From 4G and 5G mobile networks, through power utilities to modern broadcast services, mission-
critical applications demand ultra-compact and cost-effective synchronization solutions for deployment
deep in the network with minimal footprint and power consumption. Our OSA 5401 SyncPlug™ enables
precise synchronization in the most space-restrictive environments. Now there’s a simple way to
upgrade legacy systems with IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

The OSA 5401 SyncPlug™ small-form factor pluggable (SFP) is a powerful and versatile time server with a built-in GNSS
receiver and the smallest footprint and most compact design on the market. It enables accurate phase and frequency
synchronization using PTP, Sync-E and NTP at the network edge with zero-adding footprint. Its small form factor and rich
feature set enable a versatile range of deployment options for enhanced synchronization network performance.
