Balanced/unbalanced isolation balun usage with 10MHz ref. clock distribution

[HalFoster]

All-

I have several Mini-Circuits baluns (BNC, 1:1, unbalanced:balanced) and am wondering what the correct way to integrate them into a 10MHz reference clock distribution system would be.  First of all, I would think that they would not be necessary to begin with since all equipment connected is in the same rack and the power (and ground) is all on one circuit and no more than 10' from distribution amp to the equipment.  That being said though, what *would* the correct usage?  Would they go on the amplifier or the equipment side of the cable? Which side gets the balanced and which the unbalanced.  Does it matter or there advantages one way over the other? Both the amps and the equipment BNC connectors share a common ground but for the sake of argument say that they don't.  In one instance that will actually be the case since I will be going about 60' from one building to another. The amplifiers will be HP 5087As as well as possible a Brandywine FDA-1050 both of which have grounded outputs.

TIA,

Hal

Legnth of cables? # loads? Zo 50 or 75 Ohm? Source voltage, Zo?

Length: under 10' for all except one - that one 60' all 50 ohm coax with BNC connectors
Single 50 ohm load each
1.5V RMS

What mini ckt part #?
Why balanced if all TX/RX and cables are unbal /BNC/coax?


TX....trsf...cable...trsf..RX

Float one or both BNC shields off the chassis use 47 pF RF bypass if needed.
