Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6457567-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Coupler
• Adapter Configuration: LC Receptacle to LC Receptacle
• Duplex/Simplex: Duplex
• Fiber Mode: Multimode
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange; Snap-In
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Ferrule Material: Ceramic
• Features: Dust Cap
• Color: Beige
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 6457567-9 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and shares the same base product number (6457567), confirming functional and mechanical equivalence. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 6457567-9 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 6457567-5. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for LC duplex multimode fiber optic coupling applications. The 6457567-9 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.

For new designs and field replacement applications, the 6457567-9 is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry equivalent compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant (6457567-5) and RoHS Compliant (6457567-9), confirming regulatory alignment. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both parts indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

The packaging difference (unspecified for 6457567-5 versus bulk for 6457567-9) does not affect functional performance and reflects standard industry practice for active product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6457567-9 directly replace the 6457567-5 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 6457567-9 maintains identical connector type, adapter configuration, duplex mode, fiber mode, mounting type, housing material, ferrule material, and flammability rating. Direct mechanical and functional substitution is supported.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 6457567-5 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 6457567-9 is active, confirming current production and long-term supply continuity. For new designs, the active part number is the appropriate selection.

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

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The 6457567-5 specifies ROHS3 Compliant status, while the 6457567-9 specifies RoHS Compliant status. Both certifications satisfy regulatory requirements for fiber optic connector applications.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration (bulk versus other formats) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution eligibility?

A: Connector type, adapter configuration (LC Receptacle to LC Receptacle), duplex mode, multimode fiber support, panel mount snap-in mounting, thermoplastic housing, ceramic ferrule, dust cap feature, beige color, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating must all remain unchanged for direct substitution.
