GPS Inputs

Symmetricom provides a complete GPS antenna system for the TimeProvider. This includes the Symmetricom GPS Antenna, the TimeProvider Interface Unit (TPIU), and associated cables. An integrated IMC/TPIU is available for installations where rack space is at a premium. Figure 1-8illustrates the TPIU, and Figure 1-9illustrates the integrated IMC/TPIU. See Making GPS Connections, on page 71 for more information on installing the GPS Antenna and the TPIU or IMC/TPIU.
