The Cisco ASR-9006-FAN is a high-performance fan tray engineered specifically for the Cisco ASR-9006 Aggregation Services Router, a critical component in maintaining system stability and reliability in demanding carrier-grade environments. Designed with six high-efficiency fans, the tray ensures continuous and balanced airflow across the chassis, providing effective cooling for key hardware components such as route processors, line cards, power entry modules, and fabric modules.
This fan tray plays an essential role in the overall thermal management strategy of the ASR-9006 system. By preventing overheating, it helps extend the lifespan of internal components, reduce unplanned downtime, and optimize network performance. The tray is fully hot-swappable, allowing field technicians to replace or maintain it without shutting down the router, provided that redundant cooling is in place. This feature is especially valuable in mission-critical service provider networks where uptime and operational continuity are top priorities.
The ASR-9006-FAN is compatible with multiple chassis versions, including AC, AC-V2, DC, and DC-V2 variants of the ASR-9006. Its robust construction meets the environmental and regulatory standards required for large-scale deployments, supporting nominal operation from 5 °C to 40 °C, with short-term tolerance up to 55 °C, and at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters.
In summary, the Cisco ASR-9006-FAN is more than just a cooling accessory: it is a fundamental component that ensures the router operates at peak efficiency under heavy network loads. It provides the reliability, redundancy, and serviceability that carriers and enterprises need to maintain uninterrupted service delivery and long-term investment protection.
