  A timing distribution system with femto-second stability has been developed for the RF synchronization of accelerator and the laser synchronization of the pump-probe experiments. The system uses a phase stabilized optical fiber(PSOF) and an active fiber length stabilization. The PSOF has 5 ps/km/degC of the temperature coefficient. The active fiber length stabilization uses the phase detection of the round-trip sinusoidal wave and the fiber stretcher for the compensation of the fiber length. In this paper, we present the test results on a 500 m long signal distribution. The preliminary results of the timing stability are 20 fs at several minutes and 100 fs at four days, respectively.
