Eaton 24C-2 Telecommunication Fuse - Flat Orange, 60 VDC
Part Number: 24C-2
Quick Summary
The 24C-2 telecommunication fuse from Eaton provides fast, reliable overcurrent protection for telecom circuits. Engineers often face downtime when protection is undersized or difficult to identify in the field, leading to costly repairs and extended outages. In practice, many telecom fuses align with CE and UL guidelines, though this model lists Not Applicable for compliances—always verify with the latest datasheet for your market. By combining a flat fuse design with an orange color code and a 60 V DC, 2 A rating, Eaton delivers clear protective intent and quick field recognition, supporting reliability and cost efficiency in data centers, network equipment, and telecom infrastructure.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 24C-2
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The flat fuse form factor enables compact installation in crowded telecom enclosures, reducing panel depth requirements and simplifying routing in data cabinets. This translates to improved space utilization, faster deployment, and lower housing costs in network infrastructure projects; suitable for 24C-2 compatible Bussmann-type holders. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Orange color-code improves visual protection identification during diagnostics and maintenance, decreasing mis-fuse events and service delays in the field; ideal for telecom racks and remote sites that require rapid fault isolation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 60 V DC and 2 A ratings provide predictable response under overcurrent conditions, supporting compliant protection for low-voltage telecom circuits and preventing collateral damage in sensitive equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Non-indicating design reduces nuisance alerts and false trips in routine operation, which translates to reduced maintenance overhead and better uptime in data centers and office-branch networks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1.46 in length and 0.375 in height enable easy insertion into standard fuse holders, simplifying stocking, field replacement, and cross-compatibility across Eaton Bussmann Type 24 lines in telecom applications.

FAQs
The 24C-2 is a flat Bussmann-series fuse designed for standard telecom fuse holders. Measure the available space, verify the 1.46 in length and 0.375 in height, then insert into a compatible holder with the correct current rating. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before replacement, and confirm the orange color code to avoid misidentification during maintenance.
Yes. The 24C-2 is a Bussmann series Type 24 telecommunication fuse with a flat fuse design intended for use in compatible Type 24 holders. Verify holder dimensions and contact spacing to ensure proper seating, and replace only with a fuse of the same amperage rating (2 A) and voltage rating (60 V DC) for consistent protection.
The 24C-2 is optimized for telecom and data circuits, including network equipment racks, telecom cabinets, and other low-voltage telecom infrastructures. Its flat form factor, orange color code, and 60 V DC / 2 A rating provide reliable protection while enabling quick fault isolation and simple field replacement in dense enclosure environments.
Current product data lists Compliances as Not Applicable, but many telecom fuses conform to global CE and UL guidelines. For strict regulatory compliance in your region, consult the Eaton datasheet and determine if a CE/UL-marked variant is required for your installation. Always verify with your procurement and quality teams before deployment.
The 24C-2 delivers predictable protection with a non-indicating design, reducing nuisance trips and maintenance calls. Its compact size and orange code speed fault identification, lowering mean time to repair (MTTR). The durable flat fuse design also simplifies stocking and replacement in field deployments, improving uptime and lowering total cost of ownership for telecom networks.
