Open Timecard Mini - Precision Timing

The Open Timecard Mini Precision Timing is a compact, GNSS-disciplined PTP and NTP grandmaster clock from the Open Timecard Mini family — precision time for servers, edge systems and labs without a rack appliance.

Key features

  • NTP, PTP, PPS & frequency distribution direct from the device
  • Multi-band GPS/GNSS receiver
  • Integrated oscillator for holdover when GNSS is unavailable
  • Full PTP profile support
  • Compact form factor for edge, embedded and lab deployments

PTP profile support

  • Default & Enterprise profiles (E2E and P2P)
  • IEC 61850-9-3 Utility profile
  • IEEE C37.238-2017 (and 2011) Power profile
  • ITU-T G.8265.1(/2) & G.8275.1(/2) Telecom profiles
  • SMPTE 2059-2 & AES67/RAVENNA broadcast profiles

Applications

Deployed in finance (in-server time sync for trading systems and MiFID II style compliance), broadcast (studio and live event genlock), telecom/5G (space-efficient PRTC at the edge) and defence (robust timing in vehicle and mobile units).

Complete the setup

Pair it with our multi-band GNSS antenna (L1/L5) for GNSS reception, browse Open Timecard Mini accessories, or compare the full range of PTP & NTP grandmaster clocks.
