IT-BUDGET Komplettset IT cabinet fan with thermostat, ready-wired, 160 m³/h airflow, 1×230 V fan, protective grille, wiring, thermostat, screws

The IT-BUDGET Komplettset IT cabinet fan with thermostat is a ready-wired cooling solution for network and server cabinets. The set contains a 1×230 V axial fan with an airflow of 160 m³/h, a thermostat for automatic temperature control, a protective grille, connection cables and mounting screws. It is intended to improve ventilation in IT enclosures and racks to reduce internal temperatures and help prevent overheating of installed electronic equipment.

Advantages

This ready-to-install kit provides a compact and practical approach to cabinet ventilation without the need for additional wiring work. The integrated thermostat enables automatic switching of the fan according to temperature, which conserves energy and reduces fan runtime while maintaining appropriate internal cabinet temperatures. The included protective grille and mounting screws simplify installation and increase safety by preventing contact with the fan blades.

Suitable for

• Small to medium network and server cabinets where moderate airflow is sufficient
• Electrical enclosures and distribution cabinets requiring supplemental ventilation
• IT racks in offices, telecommunication closets and small data rooms

When it may not be suitable

This compact axial fan with 160 m³/h airflow is designed for modest ventilation demands. It may not provide adequate cooling for high-density server racks, large data centers or installations with high heat loads. If continuous high airflow, redundancy or variable speed control is required, a more powerful fan system or multiple fans with dedicated control may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Fan type: axial fan, single-phase 230 V
• Airflow: 160 m³/h
• Included components: thermostat for automatic control, protective grille, connection cables, mounting screws
• Mounting: panel or cabinet cut-out installation (requires compatible cut-out size)
• Function: temperature-controlled ventilation for enclosed IT spaces

How to use

Install the fan into a suitable cut-out in the cabinet or rack panel following the cabinet manufacturer's guidance for ventilation placement. Secure the unit with the supplied screws and attach the protective grille. Connect the wiring to a 230 V supply and the thermostat according to the included wiring diagram so the fan switches on at the configured temperature. Adjust the thermostat setpoint to match the desired internal cabinet temperature. Verify proper airflow direction and that cables or equipment do not obstruct ventilation paths.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the fan's airflow (160 m³/h) meets the cooling requirements of your cabinet or equipment
• Confirm the cabinet has a compatible cut-out or panel space for mounting
• Check that a 230 V supply and suitable wiring access are available in the installation location
• Consider whether thermostat control and a single fan are sufficient for redundancy or high-availability environments

Usage recommendations

Position the fan to exhaust warm air from the cabinet top or to introduce cooler air at the lower section to create effective airflow through the equipment. Set the thermostat slightly above ambient room temperature to avoid unnecessary cycling, and perform periodic inspections to remove dust buildup on the fan and grille to maintain rated airflow.
