Phoenix Contact 1404087 Fiber Optic Connector SCRJ Duplex

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1404087 is a fiber optic plug connector with SCRJ interface, duplex configuration, and 230µm fiber cladding diameter. This connector is designed for free-hanging in-line applications with push-pull fastening and operates across the temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components necessary for ongoing system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for fiber optic connectors is determined by strict alignment of mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary substitution criteria for the Phoenix Contact 1404087 are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector style (SCRJ)
• Connector type (Plug)
• Duplex configuration
• Cable diameter (2.2mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Operating temperature range (-20°C to 70°C minimum)
• Mating cycle capability (1000 cycles minimum)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1654879 maintains compatibility across all critical mechanical and operational parameters. Both connectors share the same series designation (PLUSCON VS), identical cable diameter, matching mounting and fastening specifications, and equivalent environmental ratings. The primary difference lies in fiber cladding diameter specification (230µm versus 2500µm) and fiber core diameter (1000µm for the substitute), which reflects different fiber optic cable standards but does not preclude functional substitution in applications where the larger fiber diameter is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1654879 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1404087. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent environmental specifications. The 1654879 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both connectors are rated for identical mating cycles (1000) and operating temperature ranges, supporting direct functional replacement in existing applications.

The fiber cladding diameter difference (230µm to 2500µm) represents a transition to larger fiber optic cable standards. Component selection should be based on the specific fiber optic cable gauge and standard employed in the target application. The 1654879 is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1016 pieces), supporting both prototype and production-scale deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1654879 directly replace the 1404087 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and operational compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters including connector style, duplex configuration, cable diameter, mounting type, and fastening mechanism. Substitution feasibility depends on fiber optic cable specifications in the target application. The 230µm to 2500µm cladding diameter difference requires confirmation that the installed fiber optic cable matches the substitute connector specification.

Q: What is the significance of the fiber cladding diameter difference?

A: Fiber cladding diameter defines the physical dimensions of the optical fiber itself. The 1404087 accommodates 230µm cladding fiber, while the 1654879 is designed for 2500µm cladding fiber. These represent different fiber optic cable standards. Connector selection must align with the actual fiber optic cable gauge in use.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these connectors?

A: Both connectors maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent environmental ratings (IP20, -20°C to 70°C operating range). The primary distinction is product status: the 1404087 is obsolete while the 1654879 is active, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1404087 was supplied in standard packaging (now obsolete). The 1654879 is available in bulk packaging with current inventory of 1016 pieces.

Q: Are mating cycle ratings equivalent?

A: Both connectors are rated for 1000 mating cycles, confirming equivalent mechanical durability and lifecycle specifications.
