Frequently Asked Questions

What does UL Class 125 mean for digital media?

Class 125 is a media fire rating designed to keep the safe interior below 125°F during the fire test. This is important because many tapes, drives, and optical media can be damaged at temperatures much lower than what a standard paper fire safe allows.

Why choose a Data Commander safe instead of a standard media safe?

The Data Commander line is built for higher-volume, multi-format media storage. The shelf and drawer layout makes it easier to organize and retrieve media, especially in offices where multiple users may need regular access.

How does the impact test help?

The impact test is designed to simulate severe fire conditions where a safe may fall through a weakened floor. The safe is heated, dropped 30 feet, and reheated as part of the impact and afterburn testing process.

Does this safe help protect against water exposure?

Yes. The double-door construction and internal seals help resist water intrusion from sprinklers and fire hose spray during emergency response.

Is the digital keypad lock good for business use?

Yes. A digital keypad lock is convenient for businesses because it allows authorized users to access stored media without managing physical keys.

Who typically buys the Phoenix 4621?

The Phoenix 4621 is commonly selected by banks, medical groups, law firms, IT departments, and records-heavy organizations that need certified media protection in one secure, organized unit.
