Patent Abstract

The device has bus-shaped cablings (20-22) between a clock signal transmitter (1) and receiving stations (2), and made from coaxial cable or triaxial cable. The cablings conform to Ethernet standard and 10Base2 standard. The transmitter is connected with the cablings over an Ethernet transceiver, and has a clock signal oscillator (9) that supplies a clock signal with frequency of 8 megahertz. The transmitter and a repeater (3) are designed on a VersaModular Eurocard module form factor.
