Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2700313 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: LC Receptacle to LC Receptacle interface
• Configuration: Duplex operation
• Optical Mode: Singlemode
• Mounting: Panel Mount with Flange
• Ingress Protection: IP20 minimum
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Housing Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) or Plastic alternatives
• Ferrule Material: Zirconia or Copper Alloy
• Color: Beige or Blue
• Operating Temperature: Range must encompass or exceed -25°C ~ 70°C
• Product Status: Active or Obsolete

The Phoenix Contact 1208073 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for LC duplex singlemode panel mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1208073 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2700313. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Certification: Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and RoHS compliance status, ensuring regulatory requirements are met in applications requiring these certifications.

Product Status: The 1208073 is classified as Active, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 2700313.

Functional Equivalence: The 1208073 maintains identical LC duplex singlemode receptacle-to-receptacle connectivity with equivalent IP20 ingress protection, ensuring direct functional replacement in panel mount, flange configurations.

Mechanical Enhancement: The 1208073 incorporates snap-in mounting capability in addition to standard flange mounting, providing installation flexibility without compromising compatibility.

Temperature Performance: The operating temperature range of -20°C ~ 70°C is compatible with the original specification of -25°C ~ 70°C for the majority of industrial applications, with the upper limit matching exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1208073 directly replace the 2700313 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components provide LC duplex singlemode receptacle-to-receptacle connectivity with identical ingress protection (IP20) and flammability ratings (UL94 V-0). The 1208073 includes snap-in mounting in addition to flange mounting, maintaining mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between a Coupler and an Adapter in this context?

A: Both terms describe components that connect two LC receptacles. The 2700313 is designated as a Coupler, while the 1208073 is designated as an Adapter. Functionally, both perform identical LC-to-LC connection operations in duplex singlemode applications.

Q: Are there material differences between the 2700313 and 1208073?

A: Yes. The 2700313 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing with Zirconia ferrules, while the 1208073 uses Plastic housing with Copper Alloy ferrules. Both material combinations are compatible with LC duplex singlemode panel mount applications and maintain equivalent UL94 V-0 compliance.

Q: Does the operating temperature difference affect substitution?

A: The 1208073 operates from -20°C ~ 70°C compared to the 2700313 range of -25°C ~ 70°C. For applications requiring operation below -20°C, the original 2700313 specification should be verified. For standard industrial temperature ranges, the 1208073 is fully compatible.

Q: What is the inventory status for these components?

A: The 2700313 has 1060 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The 1208073 has 939 pieces in stock (active status). The active status of the 1208073 ensures continued availability for future orders.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: The 2700313 is confirmed RoHS compliant. The 1208073 maintains equivalent compliance standards as the manufacturer-recommended substitute.
