Middle Atlantic ERK-6FT-440CFM Integrated Fan Top — Dual 6-Inch Active Cooling
Overview
The Middle Atlantic ERK-6FT-440CFM is a rack-mount fan top panel housing two 6-inch AC fans that together move 440 CFM of air through an ERK series rack enclosure. At 440 CFM, this unit provides enough airflow to actively exhaust heat from densely populated racks running NVRs, network switches, and power distribution equipment in equipment rooms, server closets, and AV/security head-end racks. Running on 120 VAC with no integrated fan controller, the ERK-6FT-440CFM operates at full speed continuously — the right choice when you need reliable, always-on thermal management rather than variable-speed control. The unit mounts at 14.38 inches tall (approximately 8U) and fits flush within the 19.75-inch rack width, keeping the installation clean and within standard 19-inch rack column geometry. Depth is a shallow 1.5 inches above the top of the rack frame, so overhead clearance requirements are minimal.
Compatibility
Designed for Middle Atlantic ERK series open-frame racks. The 19.75-inch width and ERK mounting pattern confirm fitment within the ERK rack family. This fan top is not compatible with WRK, BGR, or enclosed BGR-series cabinets — those require separate top panel or door fan kits. If your rack is a rack enclosure rather than an open-frame ERK, verify the top-panel mounting interface before ordering. The Base Series designation indicates this is a non-controller variant; if your installation requires thermostat or speed control, Middle Atlantic offers controlled fan top alternatives within the ERK accessory line. No external fan controller is included with this unit.
Installation Notes
Power connection is 120 VAC — confirm your rack's power strip or PDU has an available standard AC outlet. Fan controller is not included and not supported on this model; the fans run at fixed speed from power-on. The 9.9 lb shipping weight reflects packaged unit; installed weight is lighter. Verify ceiling or overhead clearance accommodates the 14.38-inch panel height above the rack top rail before installing in low-clearance equipment rooms. Not available for international shipment — domestic US deployment only.
