The Middle Atlantic IFTA-3 Fan Tray is a modular cooling solution designed to optimize airflow over hot equipment inside 19" racks. By placing quiet 4" DC fans directly above vents, it accelerates hot air movement toward exhaust paths, helping to prevent heat buildup that can throttle performance or shorten component life. This fan tray is engineered for flexible deployment across a range of rack configurations, enabling you to tailor cooling to your gear’s heat signature with precision and ease.

  • Optimize rack cooling with a versatile fan strategy: the IFTA-3 accommodates from 3 to 8 quiet 4" DC fans (69 CFM per fan), positioned above vents on hot equipment to get hot air moving in the right direction where it’s most effective.
  • Eight mounting positions plus optional add-on fans give you precise control over where airflow is needed most, letting you target hotspots and balance cooling across multiple components within a single rack.
  • High-visibility, simple customization: configure the tray to your exact cooling requirements, mix and match fan counts, and reconfigure as equipment stacks evolve without replacing the entire system.
  • Designed for seamless integration in standard rack environments: compatible with 19" rack rails, built from sturdy materials, and engineered to operate with minimal noise to preserve a calm control-room or AV environment.
  • Maintenance-friendly and serviceable: modular design allows easy fan replacement or expansion, reducing downtime and simplifying routine upkeep in busy installations.

Technical Details of Middle Atlantic IFTA-3 Fan Tray

  • Designed to support 3 to 8 x 4" DC fans, with each fan delivering up to 69 CFM for robust airflow.
  • Eight fan mounting positions provide flexible placement to align airflow with vents and heat sources across the rack.
  • Fan tray is intended to position fans directly above vents on hot equipment, maximizing cooling efficiency by guiding heat away from components and toward rack exhaust.
  • Modular, expandable design supports optional add-on fans to scale cooling as equipment density increases or changes.
  • Optimized for use within standard 19" rack systems, allowing for streamlined integration into existing rack layouts and workflows.

How to Install Middle Atlantic IFTA-3 Fan Tray

Installing the IFTA-3 Fan Tray is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize cooling efficiency. Follow these general guidelines to implement effective airflow in your rack environment:

  • Assess your gear’s heat profile: identify the hottest equipment and the racks that generate the most heat. Plan fan placement using the eight mounting positions to direct airflow precisely where it’s needed most. Consider whether you will run 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 fans based on the heat load and available space in your cabinet.
  • Prepare the rack: clear the rack area around the intended fan tray location. Ensure the mounting rails can support the tray and that there is access for cable routing and serviceability.
  • Mount the tray: install the IFTA-3 into the rack frame using the appropriate hardware. Align the tray so that the fans’ intake areas align with the planned positions above the vents. Secure firmly to minimize vibration or movement during operation.
  • Install and connect fans: if you are adding fans, place them in the designated mounting positions. Connect each fan to the tray’s power bus or your DC power distribution as per your system design. Maintain consistent polarity and verify that all fans are oriented to move air toward the exhaust or through the vented path as intended.
  • Configure airflow and test: power on the system and observe each fan’s operation. Confirm that air moves over the hottest components and exits efficiently through the rack’s exhaust. Listen for excessive vibration or noise and adjust mounting or fan count if needed to optimize performance.
  • Verify maintenance procedures: document the fan count and positions for future reference. Establish a routine to clean dust from fans and vents and to check for wear or degradation in the DC fans. Replace any failed fans promptly to maintain effective cooling.
  • Safety and compliance: follow all manufacturer guidelines for electrical connections and ensure that all wiring is neatly organized to prevent interference with airflow or rack doors. Ensure redundancy options are considered if uptime is critical.

Great purchase
Color: Black/White/Black, Color: Black/White/Black
The perfect watch for my eyes. White background with black hour and the second hand. Standard stuff… It’s all about the simple things that matter to me. The indigo green light might not appeal to everyone (look at the price). The band is fabric with Velcro to adjust. I’ve work this watch day and night. A near perfect fit. Easy to adjust and it’s comfortable for me, the look is just right for me. A no brainer to set up immediately. Time (?) will tell about minute creep or over all durability, A nice affordable watch that I I’ll wear everyday under all conditions. If I loose it I’ll buy another one.

Inexpensive Box Checker That Works Great!
Color: Black/White/Black
Although I have a few watches I was looking for something that was more camping specific. Something that was EASILY legible to my 56 year old vision - both in daytime and night. I needed it to have some waterproofness ability as I would also using it for kayaking. I had a Timex Expedition watch with a black dial that I gave to my son as I wanted one with a white face which I find easier to read. I gave this watch some serious consideration after seeing so many YTbers give Timex field watches the thumbs up. I came upon this model and then when I saw one available under $30 it became a no-brainer! I used it recently for its intended purpose - a 3 day camping weekend. So here are my observations. The strap is probably the only negative to the watch for me as I have big hands and need to undo it completely to feed the strap through the buckle. A minor hindrance. Once its on it's light and comfortable. I may eventually change out the strap...or I may not. The watch is easily legible and nothing, I MEAN NOTHING, beats Timex's "Indiglo" feature for nighttime. Forget "watch lume" as nothing is a visibly legible at nights as "Indiglo". I have a Casio watch that has a light feature but that cannot hold a candle to this watch's nighttime ability. On a kayak trip, I overturned the kayak and the watch was in the water so it held up nicely for that. The watch is rated for 100M so that was nothing for it I know. It's hard to find a watch that does so much at this price point. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking for the features that it has in an inexpensive package.

Decent watch, bad warranty.
Color: Black/White/Black
Decent watch, good design, solid strap. Bad warranty. I spent a little bit more money to get a better quality product with a name brand warranty, and I feel like it was a waste of money. The backlight stopped working within 6 months. I replaced the battery, but it didn't help. I started the process of a warranty repair with Timex, but then found out they have a $8 fee for in-warranty repair. With the cost of the watch being what it is, I'll just deal with the broken backlight. Next time I'll spend less money on cheap disposable non-brand name watches
