Extron FOX Matrix 3200 Fan Kit (part number 70-709-01) — the factory replacement cooling fan assembly for the FOX Matrix 3200 fiber optic matrix switcher frame.

Extron lists this kit in the FOX Matrix 3200 parts table simply as a replacement fan kit, and the switcher itself is built so the fan can be exchanged without powering the chassis down. That matters in the environments these frames live in: a fan that is starting to fail can be swapped during a maintenance window while fiber routing continues uninterrupted. Ampronix stocks the part for sites keeping a spares inventory against a chassis Extron has now retired.

Key Capabilities

• Direct replacement for the cooling fan fitted to the FOX Matrix 3200 chassis
• Chassis is engineered around a hot-swappable fan, so signal routing need not stop for the change
• Restores the frame's designed right-to-left airflow, viewed from the front panel
• Keeps a fully populated frame inside its rated operating range of +32 to +122 F
• Supports the 297 BTU/hr full-load thermal dissipation the chassis is specified for

Where It Is Used

FOX Matrix 3200 frames run continuously in hospital imaging networks, campus AV backbones, simulation and defense facilities, broadcast plants and command centers. Those sites hold fan kits on the shelf so an airflow alarm from the switcher's real-time monitoring never turns into unplanned downtime.
