Some (but by no means all) gear actually looks at some of the data fields on
the T1 before it will accept it as a reference. In most cases a bits clock
does fine. Of course you do need a proper balanced line driver and all that
stuff to get it running.

Hi
Modern gear often has high input standard plugs. People tend to daisy chain
gear with T connectors. That makes for issues if they are all low impedance.

The reference is full of errors. The lowest loss in coax
occurs when the ratio of the diameters is 3.6 to 1, regardless
of dielectric. For air
a slave from a clocking
perspective. This project will likely need to wait for my retirement.

I think the real relation is 50 ohm coax is just
75 ohm air line with polyethylene dielectric added.

Some sine-wave outputs are not very symmetrical, in that the rising
edges
are much more sinusoidal in shape than the falling edges.
I guess my question is really about what type of input circuity and
drive
level are most common and which signal shape would provide the lowest
jitter.
