Middle Atlantic FAN-254 Rack Fan
Overview
The Middle Atlantic FAN-254 is a 10-inch, AC-powered rack fan designed to provide active thermal management for enclosed audio/video and IT equipment racks. Delivering 550 CFM of airflow, this fan is crucial for preventing heat buildup and ensuring optimal operating temperatures for sensitive components, particularly in environments with 220-240V AC power infrastructure. It is a direct-replacement component for scenarios requiring consistent ventilation, such as within Middle Atlantic's MRK series racks.
Compatibility
This fan is specified for use in Middle Atlantic's MRK 42-inch deep racks, often found in professional AV installations and data centers. While it is an active component, it does not include an integrated fan controller, meaning it relies on external control or direct AC power for operation. Its 10-inch fan size and 10-inch height make it suitable for direct mounting within designated fan spaces in compatible rack enclosures.
Installation Notes
The FAN-254 operates on 220-240V AC power, requiring a compatible power source. It is an active component and does not come with a built-in fan controller, necessitating external control or direct connection to a switched AC outlet. The fan dimensions are 10 inches wide by 10 inches high, with a shallow depth of 3.5 inches, allowing it to fit within standard rack configurations without excessive protrusion. Ensure proper airflow path is maintained to maximize cooling efficiency.
