Phoenix 2002 Fireproof Data & Media Safe - 0.58 cu ft, Key Lock, UL 2-Hour Rated

Phoenix® DataCare 2002 Fireproof Data & Media Safe, 0.58 Cu. Ft., Class 125

The Phoenix DataCare 2002 is a compact fireproof data and media safe for organizations that need certified protection for removable drives, backup tapes, discs, cartridges, and other heat-sensitive digital media. It combines UL Class 125 2-hour fire protection, 30-foot impact resistance, water-resistant construction, magnetic protection, and a seven-pin dimple key lock.

With 0.58 cu. ft. of protected storage, the Phoenix 2002 provides a useful step up from smaller compact media safes without requiring the footprint of a large-capacity data safe. It is well suited to small and mid-size businesses, home offices, IT departments, financial offices, medical facilities, and organizations that need room for mixed media, cased backup tapes, removable drives, or expanding backup collections. Free white-glove delivery is included where available, subject to site-access requirements.

Specifications

Why Choose the Phoenix DataCare 2002?

• UL Class 125 2-hour protection: Designed specifically for heat-sensitive digital media that can be damaged at temperatures well below those tolerated by ordinary paper records.
• More usable media capacity: The 0.58 cu. ft. interior provides additional room for backup tapes, cartridges, removable drives, discs, and mixed media when smaller compact safes are too restrictive.
• 30-foot impact resistance: Designed to withstand severe structural conditions associated with a building fire, including a 30-foot drop followed by an afterburn reheat protocol.
• Water-resistant construction: Double-door construction and internal seals help resist water intrusion from emergency sprinkler systems and fire-hose spray.
• Magnetic protection: Helps reduce exposure to magnetic interference that could affect sensitive stored data.
• Seven-pin dimple key lock: Provides secure, straightforward access control with a pick-resistant key-lock design.
• Step-up capacity without an oversized footprint: A practical middle ground for customers who have outgrown the smallest media safes but do not yet need a large DataCare model.
• Flexible media storage: The open interior accommodates a variety of backup formats rather than limiting storage to one specific media type.

Common Applications

Use the Phoenix DataCare 2002 when important digital backups and archived media require certified fire protection but a very small media safe no longer provides enough usable storage space.

• Small and mid-size business backup storage
• IT departments and local data archives
• Medical and healthcare offices
• Banks, accounting firms, and financial offices
• Legal and professional-services firms
• Branch offices maintaining local backup media
• Home offices with irreplaceable digital archives
• Mixed storage of tapes, discs, cartridges, and removable drives

Choosing the Right Data & Media Safe

Media Safe vs. Standard Paper Fire Safe

Choose the Phoenix DataCare 2002 when your priority is protecting heat-sensitive digital media. Its UL Class 125 rating is designed around the lower temperature tolerance of digital storage formats rather than ordinary paper records.

Compact Media Safe vs. Step-Up Capacity

The Phoenix 2002 is a good choice when a very small media safe is too restrictive for cased tapes, cartridges, removable drives, or mixed-media storage. Its 0.58 cu. ft. interior provides additional usable capacity while maintaining a relatively compact footprint.

When Should You Choose a Larger DataCare Model?

Consider moving to a larger DataCare safe when you maintain several backup generations, expect your media inventory to grow substantially, or need more room for separating multiple media formats. Allowing some unused capacity today can reduce the need to replace an undersized safe later.

Digital Media vs. Paper Records

The Phoenix 2002 can physically store important paperwork, but its primary purpose is protecting digital media. If most of the records you need to protect are paper documents, a conventional fireproof safe or fireproof file cabinet may offer more practical document-storage capacity.

Free White-Glove Delivery

Free white-glove delivery is included with the Phoenix 2002 where available. Because this safe weighs approximately 238 lbs., verify the complete delivery route and disclose all access conditions before shipment.

• Room-of-Choice Placement: The safe is moved to an approved final location when the delivery route and site conditions permit.
• Unboxing: Packaging is removed as part of qualifying white-glove service.
• Stairs: Any stair carry must be disclosed and approved before delivery. Additional charges may apply.
• Elevators and Doorways: Confirm elevator capacity, doorway widths, hallway turns, and final-placement clearances before shipment.
• Restricted or Special Access: Limited truck access, scheduled receiving, after-hours service, or other unusual conditions may require advance review and additional charges.

Missing or inaccurate stair, elevator, doorway, truck-access, or final-placement information may result in additional freight, redelivery, return, or restocking charges. Contact Advanced Filing Concepts before ordering if you are unsure about your delivery requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does UL Class 125 mean?

Class 125 is a media fire rating designed to keep the safe interior below 125°F during the rated fire test. This is important because many tapes, drives, discs, cartridges, and other electronic storage formats can be damaged at temperatures significantly lower than those tolerated by paper.

How long is the Phoenix 2002 fire rated?

The Phoenix DataCare 2002 provides UL Class 125 2-hour fire protection for heat-sensitive digital media.

Is the Phoenix 2002 designed for digital media or paper files?

The Phoenix 2002 is designed primarily for digital media protection. It can also hold important paperwork, but its main purpose is protecting media that requires lower internal temperatures than a paper-only fire safe.

What does the 30-foot impact test mean?

The impact test is designed to simulate severe fire conditions where a safe could fall through a weakened floor. The safe is subjected to a 30-foot drop and an afterburn reheat protocol.

Does the Phoenix 2002 help protect against water exposure?

Yes. Its double-door construction and internal seals help resist water intrusion from emergency sprinkler spray and fire-hose streams.

Why choose the Phoenix 2002 over a smaller media safe?

The Phoenix 2002 provides 0.58 cu. ft. of usable media storage, making it a stronger choice when very compact safes are too restrictive for cased tapes, cartridges, removable drives, or mixed digital media.

Does the Phoenix 2002 have drawers?

No. The Phoenix 2002 uses an open media-storage compartment rather than drawers, allowing different types of backup media and electronic storage formats to be arranged within the available interior space.

Is white-glove delivery included?

Free white-glove delivery with room-of-choice placement and unboxing is included where available. Stairs, restricted access, special scheduling, and unusual placement conditions must be disclosed and approved in advance.

What warranty coverage is included?

Phoenix includes a 3-year parts and labor warranty and Free After-A-Fire Replacement coverage, subject to its current written warranty terms.
