The Middle Atlantic IFTA-6 Fan Tray is a flexible, high-performance cooling accessory designed to optimize airflow in rack environments. By positioning quiet 4" DC fans directly above vents on hot equipment, this tray accelerates the movement of hot air away from critical components and channels it toward exhaust paths, helping to maintain lower temperatures, reduce thermal throttling, and extend the life of valuable hardware. Built for versatility, the IFTA-6 supports a customizable fan configuration—from a compact three-fan setup for smaller enclosures to a more aggressive eight-fan arrangement for demanding racks. Its modular design makes it easy to adapt to evolving cooling needs, whether you’re deploying AV racks, data center cabinets, or studio gear where reliable cooling is essential. The result is improved cooling efficiency, more consistent performance under load, and a quieter, more stable operating environment for sensitive equipment.

  • Flexible fan configuration: Supports a customizable range of 3 to 8 fans, giving you precise control over airflow to match the cooling needs of your rack and equipment layout.
  • High airflow per fan: Each 4" DC fan delivers up to 69 CFM, providing robust, steady airflow that helps break up hot air pockets around hot components.
  • Multiple mounting positions: Eight fan mounting positions let you place fans exactly where cooling is most needed, so you can tailor the tray to your specific rack configuration.
  • Expandable with add-ons: Optional add-on fans are available, allowing you to grow cooling capacity without replacing the tray or redesigning the rack.
  • Quiet, efficient operation: Designed for quiet performance in busy data centers, studios, and AV installations, the IFTA-6 minimizes noise while maximizing airflow in tight rack spaces.

How to install Middle Atlantic IFTA-6 Fan Tray

Installing the IFTA-6 Fan Tray is a straightforward process designed to integrate with standard rack layouts and existing cooling strategies. To maximize cooling effectiveness, plan your fan layout first by identifying the hottest equipment and the most efficient vent locations. With the tray, you can position fans directly above these vents to direct airflow toward the most critical areas, reducing stagnant air and promoting a more uniform temperature distribution across the equipment rack.

Step 1: Assess your cooling needs and determine the number of fans you will deploy. The IFTA-6 supports 3 to 8 fans, so choose a configuration that matches the heat load, space, and noise considerations of your environment. Step 2: Prepare the rack and the tray. Ensure the rack area above the hot equipment has the appropriate clearance for the tray and the fans, and verify that mounting hardware is available to secure the tray in place without obstructing cables or components. Step 3: Install the tray into the rack. Use the tray’s mounting points to secure it in a position that places the fans directly over the vents or ventilation openings of the hot equipment. Confirm that the tray is level, firmly mounted, and free of obstructions that could impede airflow. Step 4: Attach fans to the mounting positions. If you are starting with a three-fan setup, place them in the recommended positions and balance airflow to target high-heat areas. If you are expanding to eight fans, distribute them evenly to maintain consistent air distribution across the equipment. Step 5: Connect power and configure the system. Power the fans using a suitable DC supply, and verify that all fans spin up smoothly without unusual vibration or noise. Adjust the fan count and placement as needed to achieve the desired cooling effect. Step 6: Test and monitor. Run equipment under typical load and monitor temperatures to ensure that the IFTA-6 is delivering the intended airflow and temperature reductions. Periodic checks and minor repositioning can optimize performance as workloads change over time.

Tips for optimal performance: Keep cable clutter to a minimum around the tray to improve airflow, and consider coordinating fan activation with ambient room temperature controls if your rack environment supports smart or centralized cooling management. If you plan to upgrade or expand later, the IFTA-6’s modular design allows you to add more fans or reconfigure mounting positions without removing the entire tray, minimizing downtime and disruption to ongoing operations.

Exactly what I needed for my bathroom refresh.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches, Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
I bought these floating shelves in the color Rustic Brown to replace a bulky storage shelf that was making my bathroom feel cramped, and they completely transformed the space. The wood finish looks much more expensive than I expected, and once installed they gave the bathroom a clean, modern, spa-like feel without taking up visual space. Installation was straightforward overall. I mounted one screw in the center into a stud and used drywall anchors for the remaining hardware, and the shelves feel very sturdy. They sit flush against the wall and don’t sag or wobble. I especially love how slim they are while still being deep enough to hold everyday bathroom items, decor, candles, skincare, and small baskets. The color worked perfectly with my bathroom vanity and mirror trim, and the floating design instantly made the room look more organized and intentional. Huge upgrade for a small space. Definitely recommend if you want functional storage that also looks elevated and minimalist.

These shelves are really nice quality and look as advertised. The hardware included was great quality, metal drywall anchors and good screws. They were easy to install, and make even/level with each other. My only gripe is the price, but I'm very satisfied with the product overall.

Attractive, easy to install, nicely equipped hardware package.
Color: B. Rustic Brown - Americana Farmhouse Style, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22.5inches
These are pretty doggone nice shelves and I appreciate the fact that they are not made of solid particle board. Yes they are made of an engineered product, but they are lightweight and strong…and look better than particle board products and more costly than their actual price. Easy installation system with the bracket…not fussy like some are. An especially thoughtful touch is the variety of hardware that is included. Also a tiny level for use when installing them. What? …So they can be installed correctly? I was pleasantly surprised by this inclusion.
