Valcom V-VCU 6A 2 Wire Clock Driver

The Telecom Spot Expert Review

The V-VCU is the distribution amplifier and power supply for Valcom's 2-wire synchronized clock network — it accepts a time reference signal from a GPS receiver (V-GPS), a protocol interface (V-DCPI), or a wireless master clock (V-WMC) and drives correction data and DC power to every clock on the 2-wire loop simultaneously. A single V-VCU supports up to 120 analog clocks, 36 2.5-inch digital clocks, or 30 4.0-inch digital clocks — the capacity that covers most single-building installations without requiring additional units. The 6-amp current-limited power supply prevents overcurrent damage to the clock network during faults or wiring events. The built-in digital protocol mixer handles the data formatting for the 2-wire correction signal without requiring a separate interface device when paired with a compatible time source. Multiple V-VCU units can be combined in a single system for large campus installations that exceed a single unit's capacity. The interface connection to the V-GPS, V-DCPI, or V-WMC is a simple "data out" to "data in" connection between units.
