Middle Atlantic AC Fan Kit - 220 CFM, 6in AC Fans

The Middle Atlantic FAN-6 AC Fan Kit delivers focused, high-volume cooling for AV racks and equipment enclosures without sacrificing space or introducing noise. Designed as a 6-inch flush-mount fan, it blends seamlessly into professional AV installations, providing robust airflow (up to 220 CFM) while maintaining a remarkably quiet operation. Built with a smooth ball-bearing motor, the FAN-6 minimizes vibration and wear, helping to protect sensitive components such as video processors, power amplifiers, and network gear from thermal stress. Operating at a standard 115V supply, this fan kit is engineered for reliable performance in demanding environments—from broadcast studios to conference rooms and high-end home theater racks. The flush-mount profile ensures a clean, professional appearance inside equipment racks, avoiding protruding hardware or visible cables, and enabling discreet cooling where it matters most. Whether you’re upgrading an existing rack with improved cooling or outfitting a new AV setup, the FAN-6 delivers consistent airflow, quiet operation, and straightforward installation that technicians appreciate.

• High airflow for effective rack cooling: 220 CFM to rapidly move warm air away from critical components, helping to prevent heat buildup that can degrade performance and shorten equipment life.
• Very quiet operation: rated at 49 dBA, this 6" flush-mount fan minimizes fan noise so it won’t interfere with audio or video clarity in multimedia environments.
• Ball-bearing design for longevity: smooth, durable bearings reduce friction and wear, delivering consistent performance over time and supporting longer service intervals in busy AV racks.
• Easy 115V AC power: standard electrical compatibility simplifies integration into existing power setups and eliminates the need for specialized power supplies or adapters.
• Complete flush-mount kit with hardware: engineered for quick, clean installation, including the mounting hardware needed to secure the fan inside standard AV rack cutouts.

How to install Middle Atlantic AC Fan Kit

• Power off all equipment in the rack and disconnect the main power source before starting installation.
• Identify a suitable location for the 6" flush-mount fan where it can draw in cool air and expel hot air without obstruction.
• Prepare the rack or panel by creating or confirming a 6" cutout that accommodates the fan housing with a clean, snug fit.
• Insert the fan unit into the cutout and align it flush with the frame. Secure the housing using the included mounting hardware, ensuring there is no gap around the front face.
• Make electrical connections to a 115V AC power source following local electrical codes. Use proper connectors and ensure secure, noise-free wiring to minimize vibration transfer.
• Restore power, test the fan operation, and verify that airflow is unobstructed. Listen for unusual vibrations and confirm the fan runs quietly, delivering the expected 220 CFM without excess noise.
