Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AX100696-S is based on the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer Compatibility: Both main and substitute parts are manufactured by Belden Inc., ensuring design and quality consistency
• Connector Category: Both parts belong to the modular connectors category for structured cabling systems
• Functional Type: Both are pair modular wiring block connectors with integrated legs
• Configuration Standard: Both utilize 110 XC KIT (C5) LEGS configuration, maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations

The substitute part AX100694-S differs in pair count (100-pair versus 300-pair), representing a scaled alternative within the same product family and configuration standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AX100694-S is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete AX100696-S. Both parts maintain identical configuration standards (110 XC KIT C5 LEGS) and regulatory compliance profiles (REACH Unaffected status). The primary distinction is pair count capacity: the substitute accommodates 100 pairs compared to the original 300 pairs. Selection between these parts depends on the specific pair count requirement of the installation. The AX100694-S is currently in active production status, ensuring availability and ongoing manufacturer support, whereas the AX100696-S is obsolete and subject to supply constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AX100694-S directly replace AX100696-S in all applications?

A: Both parts share identical configuration standards (110 XC KIT C5 LEGS) and mechanical design. The primary consideration is pair count capacity: AX100694-S provides 100-pair capacity versus the original 300-pair capacity. Substitution is appropriate when the application requirement does not exceed 100 pairs.

Q: What is the significance of the 110 XC KIT (C5) LEGS configuration?

A: This designation specifies the wiring block standard (110 type), cross-connect configuration (XC), category rating (C5), and physical mounting design (LEGS). Both parts conform to this identical specification, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part AX100694-S is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas packaging information for the main part is not specified. Bulk packaging is standard for modular connector components in this category.

Q: What is the compliance status of both parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status, indicating compliance with European Union chemical regulations. Moisture sensitivity is not applicable to these connector components.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer production decisions. The active substitute AX100694-S provides equivalent functionality within the same product family and configuration standard.
