MTEF-FANF-K, Mellanox SN2201 Switch Fan Module, P2C airflow, For SN2201, NVIDIA

The Mellanox NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-K is a dedicated fan module accessory designed for the NVIDIA Mellanox SN2201 switch, delivering reliable front-to-back cooling for compact enterprise and data center deployments. As a field-replaceable cooling module, the NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-K helps maintain stable operating temperatures, protects switching hardware, and supports continuous, always-on services. With a clear Port-to-Cable (P2C) airflow direction, it is well suited for modern rack designs commonly used in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America, where consistent airflow paths are critical for high-density network environments.

For distributors, the NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-K offers a simple way to complete switch configurations and reduce after-sales issues related to overheating or unplanned downtime. Stocking this fan module with the SN2201 switch family helps shorten lead times, simplifies RMA handling, and keeps customer sites aligned with the original vendor design. Small and medium system integrators benefit from a predictable cooling solution that matches the switch’s airflow orientation, reducing design risk when building access or aggregation layers in campus, branch, or edge facilities.

End users gain a practical spare part that can be replaced on site without taking the entire system offline for long periods. The field-replaceable design of the NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-K allows quick swaps during planned maintenance windows or in response to alarm notifications from the switch. This is especially valuable in locations where service visits are costly or remote, such as regional data centers, co-location racks, or distributed enterprise branches.

Because the cooling airflow direction is Port-to-Cable (P2C), the NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-K supports standard front-cabled racks where ports face cold aisles and cables run toward the hot side. This reduces the chance of hot air recirculation and supports consistent intake and exhaust paths across mixed-vendor environments. By following the same airflow pattern as the SN2201 chassis, the module helps preserve switch performance, extend component lifespan, and lower the risk of thermal throttling.

The NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-K is built specifically for use with the NVIDIA Mellanox SN2201 switch, ensuring mechanical fit, airflow alignment, and firmware compatibility as defined by the original manufacturer. This focused compatibility makes it easier for procurement teams to standardize on approved accessories and avoid issues caused by non-original cooling parts. Whether you are expanding an existing Mellanox-based network or deploying new racks, this fan module accessory helps you maintain a stable, efficient, and serviceable switching environment over the long term.
