Cisco C9610-FAN Fan Tray – High-Efficiency Cooling for Cisco C9610R Chassis

The Cisco C9610-FAN is a field-replaceable fan tray engineered to provide reliable, efficient, and intelligent cooling for the Cisco C9610R Series modular chassis. Designed for enterprise campus environments and data-center racks, this fan tray supports front-to-back airflow to maintain optimal thermal performance even in dense network deployments.

Reliable Redundant Cooling Architecture

Each Cisco C9610R chassis accommodates four hot-swappable C9610-FAN trays, accessible from the rear to ensure flexible cable management and simplified maintenance.
The fan tray features six independently controlled fans, enabling resilient cooling performance:

• If a single fan fails, the system continues operating without significant thermal degradation.
• Remaining fans automatically adjust speed to compensate, ensuring uninterrupted system reliability.

Intelligent Fan Control & Environmental Optimization

Cisco integrates several advanced features to enhance cooling efficiency and reduce noise:

• Built-in barometric sensor optimizes fan speed according to altitude—reducing RPM and noise at lower elevations.
• Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) tuning allows precise control of each fan’s rotation speed for consistent airflow and reduced variability.
• Measured acoustic performance: 77.7 LWAd (dB) in formal NEBS test conditions, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

Serviceability Designed for Enterprise Operations

The C9610-FAN tray is engineered for rapid replacement without interrupting network operations:

• Supports single fan tray replacement within 180 seconds, enabling fast, safe servicing.
• Rear access design ensures minimal disruption to cable routing and rack configurations.

The Cisco C9610-FAN delivers intelligent, fault-tolerant, and serviceable cooling, helping organizations maintain reliable performance and environmental efficiency across Cisco C9610R switching platforms.
