Extron FOX3 40x Fan Kit (part number 70-1120-01) — the hot-swappable replacement fan assembly for the Extron FOX3 Matrix 40x fiber optic matrix switcher.

The FOX3 Matrix 40x cools itself with a fan assembly that draws air right to left as viewed from the front panel. When a fan in that assembly wears out or fails, this kit is the direct field replacement: a hot-swappable module that slides into the same chassis opening without requiring a power-down of the switcher or disrupting the 4K/60 video, audio, USB, and control signals already in transit. Extron builds the assembly to be tool-free at the captive panel screws, so a technician can restore full cooling in minutes.

Key Capabilities

• Hot-swappable, installs or replaces without powering down the FOX3 Matrix 40x
• Matches the chassis-specified right-to-left cooling airflow
• Tool-free captive panel screws for fast field service
• Restores full cooling to a fully loaded 5-board 40x chassis
• Purpose-built for the FOX3 Matrix 40x frame only

Where It Is Used

Facilities teams and integrators supporting a FOX3 Matrix 40x in continuous operation keep this kit on hand as a maintenance spare, since a failed fan degrades cooling on a fully populated 5-board frame carrying 4K/60 signal traffic.

Specifications at a Glance

• Compatibility: FOX3 Matrix 40x chassis (8x8 up to 40x40) only
• Airflow: fan-driven, right to left as viewed from the front panel
• Hot-swappable, tool-free captive panel screws

Because the 40x is a modular, field-serviceable frame, Extron designed the fan assembly, the I/O boards, and the power supplies to be swapped independently, so a cooling issue never requires touching the signal path itself.
