Product description
SK Fan module 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, speed-controlled, (2 fans, max. 6 fans) 280 m³/h, for VX IT, WxHxD: 550x42x340 mm, RAL 9005
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The SK Fan Module delivers active, speed-controlled cooling with two fans (expandable to six) and a maximum airflow of 280 m³/h, enabling precise thermal management for VX IT enclosures. This translates to improved equipment reliability and reduced risk of overheating in data centers and industrial automation cabinets; use it in IT racks and control panels to sustain performance under higher load. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A simple connection system with a C13 IEC 320 socket streamlines commissioning and minimizes wiring errors, reducing installation time by hours per unit and lowering field service costs. Apply it to VX IT assemblies where quick replacement and scalable cooling are critical for uptime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The option to extend from 1 to 2 to 6 fans supports scalable cooling as heat density grows, improving energy efficiency and allowing equipment to run at optimal speeds rather than overcooling. Use in modular IT cabinets and automation control cabinets to match evolving thermal loads. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact 550x42x340 mm dimensions and a lightweight 3.8 kg form factor simplify mounting in tight VX IT spaces, reducing enclosure depth constraints and enabling flexible layouts in data centers and factory floors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Energy-efficient operation at 42.5 W with 0.69–0.7 A current and a 46 dB(A) noise profile balances cooling performance with acoustic considerations in data rooms and sound-sensitive environments; deploy in offices, labs, and production lines where noise must be minimized while maintaining airflow. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fully wired, ready-for-connection configuration and installation parts support fast field deployment and consistent maintenance, preserving uptime and simplifying spare-part planning for IT infrastructure teams.

FAQs
Yes. The SK Fan Module is designed for VX IT enclosures and fits installation options listed as 800 x 800, 800 x 1000, and 800 x 1200 supports. Its footprint and mounting provisions allow straightforward integration across common VX IT cabinet configurations, reducing design changes and improving installation predictability.
Key specs include a rated operating voltage of 100-240 V, 1~, 50/60 Hz, airflow of 280 m³/h, and a noise level of 46 dB(A). The unit uses a maximum current of 0.7 A at 50 Hz or 0.69 A at 60 Hz, with a power draw around 42.5 W, providing a balance of cooling capacity and energy efficiency.
Yes, the SK Fan Module supports 2 to 6 fans. This scalability allows you to tailor cooling to changing heat loads without replacing the enclosure. The design includes a simple connection system and fully wired configuration, ensuring consistent control across all fans and minimal re-wiring during upgrades.
The product specifies IP 20 protection per IEC 60 529, ensuring protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm while not being weatherproof. It also includes industry-standard classifications such as ETIM EC000320 and ECLASS 8.0 27180716 to support procurement and compatibility in IT and automation projects.
ROI comes from improved IT cabinet reliability and energy efficiency due to controlled airflow and scalable fan counts. Maintenance is simplified by the fully wired, plug-in design and included installation parts; routine checks focus on fan health, wiring integrity, and ensuring the 100-240 V supply remains within tolerance for consistent performance.
