Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FEAT104LC9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector Category: Fiber Optic Connectors
• Connector Type: CAT6 LEFT/RIGHT 45 DEGREE configuration
• Connector Orientation: TG WIR (Twisted Gear Wire)
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable (consistent across all variants)

The substitute part FEAT104LC9-KT maintains identical functional specifications and connector geometry while offering Active product status, making it suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring the same electrical and mechanical interface characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FEAT104LC9-KT is the primary substitute for FEAT104LC9. This substitution is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The FEAT104LC9-KT maintains Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current production standards. The original FEAT104LC9 is Obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Functional Compatibility: Both parts share identical connector specifications, including CAT6 LEFT/RIGHT 45 DEGREE configuration and TG WIR interface. This ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing installations.

Compliance Consistency: Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level classification (Not Applicable), confirming equivalent environmental handling and storage requirements.

Inventory Availability: While the original part currently maintains 864 units in stock, the substitute FEAT104LC9-KT provides 655 units of new original inventory, supporting long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FEAT104LC9-KT be used as a direct replacement for FEAT104LC9?
