APX-PGM400 High Capacity PTP Grandmaster Clock

Product Overview

The APEX APX-PGM400 is a high capacity IEEE 1588v2 PTP grandmaster clock built for dense networks where thousands of devices rely on one time source. It locks to GNSS and serves PTP at scale.

As networks grow, timing stops being a small box in the corner. The APX-PGM400 is designed for high client counts and heavy PTP traffic, with redundant power and reference inputs so a single fault does not stop the network.

It targets 5G transport, large data center fabrics, financial and cloud networks. Interface and profile settings are configured before shipment and kept on file for repeat orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the APX-PGM400 for?

It is the high capacity option for networks with many PTP clients and heavy synchronization traffic.

How is capacity handled?

The unit is sized for high client counts and packet throughput, with redundant inputs so one fault does not stop timing.

Does it also serve NTP?

Yes. NTP and SNTP are supported for devices that do not run PTP.

How is it configured?

Interfaces and profile settings are set for your project and recorded for repeat orders.

Why Choose APEX

  • Timing and synchronization configured for your network.
  • Interfaces and profiles set before shipment, with the configuration kept on file.
  • Standards based design for interoperability with carrier and data center equipment.
  • Backed by a 3 year warranty and technical support on link and sync planning.
