Middle Atlantic AXS-FAN-K – AXS/AX-SXR Rack Fan Kit, 2 Fans

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-FAN-K is a two-fan rack fan kit engineered for AXS and AX-SXR series slide-out racks. Each ball-bearing fan measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a slim 1-inch depth, mounting flush inside the rack to add active cooling without consuming usable equipment space. Combined, the pair moves up to 114 CFM of air to lower ambient temperature inside the enclosure. For residential and light commercial AV installations where heat shortens component life, this kit is a straightforward thermal management upgrade.

Product Description

In-wall and slide-out racks concentrate heat quickly because the enclosure limits passive convection. The AXS-FAN-K rack fan kit addresses that constraint with two 115V fans purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic AXS and AX-SXR rack families. The fans install flush in factory-provisioned fan locations, so integrators can add forced-air cooling during initial rack build-out or as a retrofit once heat-sensitive sources, amplifiers, or network gear go in.

Quiet operation matters in living spaces, conference rooms, and other occupied areas where these racks are typically installed. The ball-bearing motor design keeps the free-air noise rating at 33 dBA, low enough to sit behind millwork or inside a closet without drawing attention. With a combined airflow of up to 114 cubic feet per minute, the pair of fans creates consistent air exchange that helps streaming devices, control processors, and power amplifiers stay within their operating temperature range. Middle Atlantic also offers a separate temperature display and LED accessory for installations that need visible thermal monitoring at the rack. For integrators specifying AV rack cooling on a project, pairing every loaded AXS rack with this fan kit is an inexpensive way to protect the equipment investment.
