RE: Possible to split a 10Mhz clock output?

Posted by AbeCollins on December 17, 2016 at 10:30:08:
As knewton already mentioned, you might get by with a simple BNC T adapter depending on the loads and how they are terminated at the receiving ends, and the cable lengths. Another option is to use something called a distribution amplifier.

Personally, I'm not convinced that the 'accuracy' of a Rubidium clock is of any benefit in a home audio setup. The output of a Rubidium clock actually comes off an ovenized voltage controlled crystal oscillator that is locked to the hyperfine transition state of the Rubidium atom (~6.834 GHz). The phase noise of the crystal oscillator is probably more important than the clock's absolute long term accuracy.
I worked for a company called Efratom in the 1980s on crystal oscillators, Rubidium clocks, and hydrogen masers in a past life. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express a few weeks ago. ;-)
Didn't we talk about this almost 4 years ago? What 'custom made' Rubidium clock do you have?
