FAQs
The BK/GMT-2A is designed to protect telecom circuitry operating at 125 Vac or 60 Vdc with a 2 A rating. It is ideal for safeguarding line cards, power supplies, and rack-based telecom equipment from short circuits and fault currents, helping minimize downtime and component damage in demanding data-center and network environments.
This fuse provides 2 A current rating with interrupt ratings of 300 AIC at 125 Vac and 450 AIC at 60 Vdc. It is rated for 125 Vac and 60 Vdc, enabling effective protection across mixed telecom power rails and DC-powered subsystems, while delivering fast fault clearance to limit damage.
Yes. The BK/GMT-2A is a GMT-series telecommunication fuse featuring a thermoplastic body and tin-plated beryllium copper terminals, designed for standard packaging and typical fuse holders. Its compact 0.78 in length and non-indicating design simplify installation in dense panels and allow straightforward field replacement without special tooling.
The fuse is CE marked and RoHS compliant, signaling conformity with European regulatory requirements and restrictions on hazardous substances. This supports global deployments, supplier qualification, and a lower compliance burden when integrating into multi-region telecom projects.
Its fast-acting protection minimizes fault damage and downtime, while compact form factor reduces space and installation time in cabinets. The non-indicating design lowers panel clutter, but periodic inspection remains important to verify fuse status. Overall, the combination of protection, reliability, and ease of service supports a favorable total cost of ownership in telecom networks.
