Deployment / Use Cases
This 60x25mm fan is designed for integration into small form factor cases, HTPC builds, network appliances, and compact workstations where space constraints demand efficient cooling solutions. Its 5000 RPM capability addresses heat dissipation needs in densely packed components or environments with limited airflow pathways.
Common applications include supplemental cooling for CPU heatsinks, chassis ventilation in media centers, thermal management for embedded systems, and airflow enhancement in network equipment racks. The black plastic construction and standard mounting holes ensure compatibility with most 60mm fan mounts without modification.
Small Form Factor Cooling
The 60x25mm dimensions fit compact cases and enclosures, providing directed airflow where larger fans cannot be installed.
Quiet Operation Environments
With 30 dB(A) noise levels, this fan suits home theaters, office workstations, and recording studios where acoustic management is essential.
Physical Profile
Measuring 2.36 inches (60 mm) in diameter with a 1-inch (25.40 mm) height and 2.40-inch (60.96 mm) width, this fan maintains a compact footprint for installation in tight spaces. The black plastic housing weighs approximately 0.90 ounces (25.51 grams), minimizing added load to chassis structures while providing durable construction.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1" (25.40 mm), 2.40" (60.96 mm), 30 dB(A). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
