Eaton BK/80D-5 Telecommunication Fuse - CE Marked
Part Number: BK/80D-5
Quick Summary
The Eaton BK/80D-5 telecommunication fuse is designed to protect telecom power circuits in rack and cabinet installations. Many installations suffer from undetected fault conditions and slow response due to non-indicating fuses, risking downtime. It carries CE Marked compliance, aligning with European regulatory standards, and is designed with a remote electrical alarm capability to improve fault visibility in harsh industrial environments. This combination supports faster maintenance planning and minimizes unplanned outages, while scalable for diverse telecom cabinet deployments and field service workflows. Engineers appreciate clear fault signals and easier integration with remote monitoring systems. By combining reliable protection with alarm awareness, the BK/80D-5 supports faster MTTR and reduced maintenance costs across data centers, telecom closets, and industrial facilities.

FAQs
BK/80D-5 should be installed in compatible fuse holders rated for 5 A at up to 160 V. Ensure proper electrical isolation during replacement, connect the remote alarm interface per the provided datasheet, and follow standard cabinet mounting practices. Confirm CE compliance and verify the enclosure accommodates the fuse dimensions (0.28 in W, 2.685 in H).
The BK/80D-5 is rated for 5 A and 160 V, making it suitable for low-voltage telecom circuits typical in rack-mounted equipment. Design systems to operate below 160 V and ensure the protection device sits in series with the protected load. The non-indicating fuse requires reliance on the remote alarm for fault visibility.
Yes. The BK/80D-5 carries CE Marked compliance, indicating conformity with applicable European safety, health, and environmental standards. For European deployments, verify that your system’s voltage, current, and enclosure specifications align with the fuse rating and that the remote alarm interface integrates with your monitoring platform.
Remote alarm capability provides immediate fault signaling to a centralized monitoring system, enabling faster fault isolation and reduced mean time to repair (MTTR). This reduces on-site visits and downtime, improving network reliability for telecom cabinets and data-center edge devices while preserving protective performance.
Adopting BK/80D-5 can lower downtime costs by enabling rapid fault notification and faster maintenance planning. The combination of reliable protection, CE-compliant design, and remote alarm visibility reduces emergency service calls, improves asset uptime, and supports scalable deployments across multiple telecom cabinets and network infrastructure.
