This precious thing allows me to connect my GPSDO and have very stable 10MHz output, so all test equipment can use it as reference. The GPSDO itself provides very stable frequency, but has “only” an OCXO inside. So, long-time stability comes from GPS, but now short-time stablility also comes from the rubidium standard and not from the OCXO anymore. So more long- and short-time stability!
