Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 08AN-2C6R-FCG is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Bel Fuse Inc. (maintaining OEM consistency)
• Category: Modular Connectors (functional classification)
• Connector Type: RJ45-based jack configuration
• Port Configuration: Multi-port arrangement (2X6 configuration)
• Network Standard: 1000BASE-T compatibility
• Product Status: Active alternatives required due to obsolescence

The substitute part 08AN-2C6R-GK-C meets these criteria as an active, functionally enhanced alternative from the same manufacturer, offering 10-port RJ45 connectivity with extended capabilities including Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the main part and substitute should be based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The 08AN-2C6R-FCG is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 08AN-2C6R-GK-C is an active product with ongoing availability, making it the appropriate choice for new designs or when legacy inventory is exhausted.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The substitute part 08AN-2C6R-GK-C provides additional compliance assurance through ROHS3 certification, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts are RJ45-based modular connectors from Bel Fuse Inc. The substitute supports the same 1000BASE-T standard as the original part, with backward compatibility to 10/100 Base-T networks. The addition of PoE+ capability in the substitute provides extended functionality without compromising baseline network performance.

Availability: Current inventory shows 912 pieces of the substitute part 08AN-2C6R-GK-C available as new original stock, compared to 827 pieces of the obsolete main part. The active status of the substitute ensures continued availability for future procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 08AN-2C6R-GK-C directly replace the 08AN-2C6R-FCG in existing applications?

A: Both parts are RJ45-based modular connectors from Bel Fuse Inc. with 1000BASE-T compatibility. The substitute part supports the same network standards and maintains equivalent electrical performance. Physical form factor differences (port count and mounting configuration) must be evaluated against specific board layout and mechanical constraints.

Q: What is the difference in port configuration between these parts?

A: The 08AN-2C6R-FCG is configured as a 2X6 jack arrangement, while the 08AN-2C6R-GK-C provides 10 individual RJ45 ports in a 2-row configuration. The increased port density of the substitute may require PCB layout modifications.

Q: Does the substitute part support the same network speeds?

A: Yes. The 08AN-2C6R-GK-C supports 10/100/1000 Base-T operation, which includes full backward compatibility with the 1000BASE-T standard of the original part.

Q: What additional features does the substitute part provide?

A: The 08AN-2C6R-GK-C includes Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) capability rated at 30W, integrated EMI filtering, LED indicators (Green and Yellow), and shielding with EMI fingers. These features are not specified for the original part.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are REACH Unaffected. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing additional assurance of environmental and safety standard adherence. The original part's compliance status for RoHS is not specified.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute part?

A: The 08AN-2C6R-GK-C operates across -40°C to 85°C, providing a standard industrial temperature range suitable for most networking applications.
