Efratom FRS-C 10 MHz Rubidium Frequency Reference
Comes with what you see in the pictures. If you don't see it, you probably wont get it. May or may not include cables.
Specifications are from Ball/Efratom and may vary slightly due to upgrades, revisions or options this unit may or may not have.

Quantity available, only 1 sold in auction. It does come with an Operation and Maintenance Manual. We believe the 2 boards with this unit are a distribution amplifier. May or may not include cables. The specifications from the manual say the unit outputs a sine-wave but I have had several people tell me it is a square-wave so please keep that in mind.

Introduction:
The Efratom Model FRS Rubidium Standard is a subminiature, atomic resonance-controlled oscillator which provides an extremely pure and stable sinusoidal signal of 10 MHz at 0.5 Vrms into a 50 ohm load. The FRS-C may be utilized in equipment requiring an extremely stable and precise frequency and under more benign environmental conditions such as the time base of frequency counters.

Connections:
All necessary connections for input and output signals are externally accessible. Output signal, power, frequency adjustment, and built-in-test (BIT) functions are provided by a Cannon connector which mates with Cannon P/N DAM11WIS.

Features:

  • For Time Base Applications
  • For Use in Instruments, Receivers, Test Equipment, and Networks
  • Small Package
  • Low Power Consumption
  • Electrical Specifications:
