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.

What is the biggest difference between the Phoenix 4623 and 4622?

The Phoenix 4623 provides a larger cabinet footprint, a dual-compartment interior, and higher media capacity. It is the better choice when you need to consolidate a very large backup media library into one certified media safe.

What does the dual-compartment interior mean?

The interior width is divided into two 15.5" wide compartments. This helps keep media organized, reduces shifting, and makes drawer and shelf access easier when the safe is heavily loaded.

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.
