Sure. However my OCXO has around -155 dBc/Hz, almost 20dB worse than your -170. One channel of my distributor can be seen here

Hi How much impact your distribution setup has on the OCXO phase noise depends a *lot* on how quiet the OCXO is. If it is in the -170 dbc/ Hz range, then pretty much anything can mess up the phase noise ….
