Extron FOX3 Matrix 560x/840x Fan Kit (part number 70-1120-05) — the hot-swappable replacement fan assembly shared by the Extron FOX3 Matrix 560x and FOX3 Matrix 840x fiber optic matrix switchers.

Both the 560x and 840x are large-frame chassis with 40 board slots and share a common cooling architecture, so Extron uses one fan kit for both. When a fan wears out on either frame, this hot-swappable module slides into the existing opening without powering down the switcher or interrupting the 4K/60 video, audio, USB, and control signals in transit, keeping a fully loaded, mission-critical frame in continuous service during the swap.

Key Capabilities

• Hot-swappable, installs or replaces without powering down the switcher
• Matches the chassis-specified cooling airflow
• One kit covers both the FOX3 Matrix 560x and FOX3 Matrix 840x frames
• Tool-installed captive panel screws for fast field service

Where It Is Used

Large-venue and enterprise integrators running a fully loaded FOX3 Matrix 560x or 840x — stadiums, broadcast centers, and government command facilities — stock this kit as a single maintenance spare covering either frame.

Specifications at a Glance

• Compatibility: FOX3 Matrix 560x and FOX3 Matrix 840x chassis
• Type: Fan assembly
• Hot-swappable, tool-installed captive panel screws

Extron's setup guide calls the fan assembly, the I/O boards, and the power supplies out as independently field-replaceable on every FOX3 Matrix frame, so a cooling fault never requires disturbing the signal path itself.

Extron rates the 560x and 840x enclosures for 21U and 29U rack space respectively, and both rely on continuous front-to-rear airflow to keep as many as 105 fiber I/O boards within their operating temperature range, so a documented replacement path for the fan assembly is part of routine facility maintenance.
