Middle Atlantic C5 2 BAY Blower KIT - C5-2BAY-BLWRKIT

Middle Atlantic C5-2BAY-BLWRKIT 2-Bay Blower Kit

Overview

The Middle Atlantic C5-2BAY-BLWRKIT is a factory-new active cooling kit designed for C5 series rack enclosures that require forced-air ventilation across a 2-bay span. When passive ventilation is insufficient — high-density AV, security, or networking equipment generating sustained heat loads — this blower kit provides the active airflow needed to keep components within safe operating temperatures. The C5-2BAY-BLWRKIT installs directly into the C5 enclosure's designated blower bay positions, replacing the need for external or ad-hoc cooling solutions.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Middle Atlantic C5 series rack enclosures. Fits 2-bay blower positions within the C5 chassis. Verify your specific C5 enclosure model's blower bay configuration before ordering — Middle Atlantic's rack enclosure lineup spans several chassis depths and heights, and blower kit compatibility is tied to the precise C5 bay layout. Consult the C5 enclosure documentation or a rack accessory specialist to confirm fitment if your enclosure variant is not listed in the C5 product series.

Installation Notes

Install into the designated blower bay slots on the C5 enclosure. Ensure the enclosure is powered down before inserting or removing the blower kit. Verify airflow direction aligns with the enclosure's intended front-to-back or bottom-to-top thermal path — reversed airflow recirculates heat rather than exhausting it. No external power supply is required beyond what the C5 chassis provides to its blower bays. For integrators managing active network or PoE switch equipment inside enclosed racks, pairing this kit with proper cable management maintains unobstructed airflow lanes.
