Phoenix 2001 DataCare Media Safe - Key Lock, 2-Hour Fire Rated, 0.26 cu ft

Phoenix® DataCare 2001 Fireproof Data & Media Safe, 0.26 Cu. Ft., Class 125

The Phoenix DataCare 2001 is a compact fireproof data and media safe for businesses and home offices that need professional-grade protection for 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.

Its compact 0.26 cu. ft. interior is well suited to smaller backup rotations and high-value digital media collections where certified protection matters more than large storage volume. The Phoenix 2001 is a practical choice for banks, credit unions, financial institutions, law firms, small businesses, branch offices, and home offices that need serious media protection without stepping up to a much larger safe. Free white-glove delivery is included where available, subject to site-access requirements.

Specifications

Why Choose the Phoenix DataCare 2001?

• 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.
• Compact professional protection: The 0.26 cu. ft. interior gives smaller backup collections certified protection without requiring the floor space of a larger media safe.
• 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 protection: Tight seals help resist water intrusion from emergency sprinkler systems and fire-hose spray.
• Magnetic protection: Helps reduce exposure to magnetic fields that could interfere with sensitive stored media.
• Seven-pin dimple key lock: Provides secure, straightforward access control with a pick-resistant key-lock design.
• Space-saving footprint: Its compact 16.50-inch height and 13.875-inch width make it easier to place in smaller offices and secure storage areas.
• Ideal for smaller backup rotations: A strong fit when only a limited number of tapes, discs, or cartridges require high-level protection.

Choosing the Right Data & Media Safe

Media Safe vs. Standard Paper Fire Safe

Choose the Phoenix DataCare 2001 when your priority is protecting heat-sensitive digital media. Its UL Class 125 rating is designed around the lower temperature tolerance of media such as tapes, discs, and cartridges rather than conventional paper records.

Compact Media Safe vs. Larger DataCare Safe

Choose the 2001 when you have a relatively small backup rotation or a limited collection of valuable digital media. A larger DataCare model may be a better fit when you need room for multiple generations of backups, larger media collections, or future storage growth.

How Much Media Storage Do You Need?

The Phoenix 2001 holds approximately 14 LTO tapes in cases, 12 DLT tapes, 31 CDs in cases, 39 8mm cartridges, or 84 4mm cartridges. If your backup inventory is growing quickly, consider allowing additional capacity rather than sizing the safe only for your current media collection.

Digital Media vs. Paper Records

The Phoenix 2001 can physically hold small amounts of paperwork, but its main purpose is protecting digital media. If most of the records you need to protect are paper documents, a standard fireproof safe or fireproof file cabinet may provide more usable document storage for the investment.

Free White-Glove Delivery

Free white-glove delivery is included with the Phoenix 2001 where available. Although this is one of the more compact DataCare models, the safe still weighs approximately 108 lbs., so the delivery route and final placement area should be confirmed 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.
• Doorways and Hallways: Confirm 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, 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.

Warranty and After-Fire Protection

The Phoenix DataCare 2001 includes a 3-year parts and labor warranty and Phoenix's Free After-A-Fire Replacement coverage, subject to the manufacturer's current eligibility, documentation, exclusions, and claim requirements. Review the current Phoenix warranty terms for complete coverage details.

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, discs, cartridges, and electronic storage formats can be damaged at temperatures significantly lower than those tolerated by paper.

How long is the Phoenix 2001 fire rated?

The Phoenix DataCare 2001 provides UL Class 125 2-hour fire protection for heat-sensitive digital media.

Is this safe designed for digital media or paper files?

The Phoenix 2001 is designed primarily for digital media protection. It can hold small quantities of paperwork, but its main purpose is protecting media that requires lower internal temperatures than a standard paper 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 2001 help protect against water exposure?

Yes. The DataCare design uses tight seals to help resist water intrusion from emergency sprinkler spray and fire-hose streams.
