Abaco Systems / VMIC VMIVME-FA3 Fan Assembly

The Abaco Systems VMIVME-FA3 is a triple-fan assembly engineered to deliver active thermal management in VMEbus enclosures. This 1U rack-mountable unit maintains critical component temperatures through variable-speed fan operation, enabling consistent performance in demanding computing environments. Multiple voltage and mounting configurations accommodate both domestic and continental deployments.
