Middle Atlantic FAN-6 Rack Fan

Overview

The Middle Atlantic FAN-6 is an active 6-inch AC-powered fan designed to provide 220 CFM of airflow. This unit is critical for maintaining optimal operating temperatures within enclosed rack systems, preventing thermal shutdown and extending the lifespan of sensitive electronic equipment. It's suited for deployments where concentrated airflow is needed to manage heat buildup from components like AV processors, network switches, or amplifiers.

Compatibility

This fan is designed for integration into standard 19-inch racks and enclosures. While it does not include a fan controller, its 120 VAC power requirement makes it compatible with standard rackmount power distribution units and readily available AC power sources within commercial AV and IT environments. It's a standalone cooling component, not tied to specific chassis models but rather to the general need for rack cooling.

Installation Notes

The FAN-6 requires a 120 VAC power source and provides 220 CFM of cooling. Its physical dimensions are 6.77 inches wide, 5.91 inches high, and 1.5 inches deep. Mounting hardware and a power cord are included, simplifying installation into most standard rack configurations. Ensure sufficient clearance for airflow intake and exhaust.
