Description
A fan failure in a live Mediant 1000B gateway is a ticking clock. Rising temperatures threaten voice quality, accelerate component wear, and can force a hard shutdown before you get a chance to react. The AudioCodes M1KB-FAN replacement fan tray gives your team the spare they need to respond fast — a genuine 3-fan module with integrated filter that restores full thermal management in minutes and gets your gateway back to spec.
The Telecom Spot Take
The Mediant 1000B is a workhorse gateway that organizations depend on for SIP trunking, analog migration, and enterprise SBC functions. Its modular architecture is a strength in normal operation, but it means the fan tray — the chassis' primary cooling mechanism — must be kept in good working order. AudioCodes designs the M1KB-FAN as a hot-swappable spare, meaning a trained technician can swap it out during a maintenance window without powering down the chassis. IT teams managing mission-critical voice infrastructure should keep at least one M1KB-FAN on the shelf. The 3-fan design with integrated dust filter is the same unit shipped in new chassis, so you're not compromising on cooling capacity.
Key Features
- 3-fan module with integrated filter: Replaces the entire fan assembly — fans and filter together — so you restore full cooling in a single swap.
- Genuine AudioCodes spare part: Exact OEM replacement for the Mediant 1000B chassis, ensuring fit, airflow performance, and compatibility with chassis monitoring.
- Minimizes downtime: Designed for rapid field replacement; have the part staged and swapping takes minutes, not hours.
- Protects voice infrastructure investment: Proper cooling extends the life of every module installed in the chassis — voice cards, SSD storage, and DSP resources alike.
- Filter included: The integrated filter traps airborne particulates before they reach sensitive electronics, reducing cleaning cycles and contamination risk.
