Extron Replacement Fan Kit (part number 70-709-02) — the cooling fan assembly Extron lists for the DMS 1600 modular DVI matrix switcher.

The DMS 1600 is a 4U, four-slot frame that grows from 4x4 to 16x16 as DVI or fiber boards are fitted, and it is cooled by a fan drawing air right to left across the card cage as seen from the front. Extron designs the DMS 1600 with a serviceable fan, so a unit that has become noisy or slow can be replaced during a maintenance window rather than forcing the frame out of the rack. Ampronix carries the kit for sites keeping spares against installed DMS 1600 frames.

Key Capabilities

• Factory cooling fan kit for the Extron DMS 1600 DVI matrix switcher frame
• Restores the frame's designed right-to-left airflow across the card cage
• Keeps a loaded frame inside its rated +32 to +122 F operating window
• Supports up to 366 BTU/hr of full-load dissipation with both supplies fitted
• Applies to any DMS 1600 build from 4x4 through 16x16 across four slots

Where It Is Used

DMS 1600 matrices distribute uncompressed DVI in commercial, medical, military and government rooms where image quality cannot be compromised. Fan kits are held as spares in those facilities so a thermal warning never escalates into an unplanned shutdown of the routing system.
