The Cisco Network Clock Module Stratum 3 (part number: C8540-3CLK=) is a specialised control processor designed to provide precise timing and accurate clock synchronisation for Cisco networking devices. It plays a critical role in maintaining the performance of high-level network operations by keeping all components rhythmically synced. This module operates at a Stratum 3 level, ensuring intermediate clock precision, making it suitable for networks where timing accuracy is paramount, although not as stringent as Stratum 1 or 2 requirements.
The C8540-3CLK= is designed specifically for integration with Cisco routers and switches requiring a highly reliable internal clock source. The module contributes to reducing timing discrepancies within the network, ensuring synchronised communication between various devices. The Stratum 3 clock is also highly reconfigurable and works within a broad range of topologies, providing flexibility to network administrators when managing and optimising their setups.
Its strong resilience to environmental factors like temperature fluctuations ensures that it maintains its clock accuracy over long periods. This is essential for networks that cannot afford any form of time drift in synchronised operations. The module's compact design makes it easy to install and retrofit into compatible Cisco chassis without requiring major hardware modifications. Additionally, the unit's built-in failover mechanisms, combined with timing synchronization protocols, ensure that network operations continue uninterrupted even during loss of external signals.
