MikroTik MT-HotSwapFan Hot-Swappable Replacement Fan Module for CCR2216

The MikroTik MT-HotSwapFan is a replacement hot-swappable fan unit designed for use with the CCR2216 and CRS518 platforms. Engineered for high-availability network environments, it allows field technicians to replace a failed or degrading fan module while the router remains fully powered and in service, eliminating the need for a maintenance window or unplanned downtime. Keeping a spare MT-HotSwapFan on hand is a straightforward operational continuity measure for any deployment where network availability is critical.

Key features & benefits

• True Hot-Swap Operation — The fan module can be physically removed and replaced while the host device remains powered on and passing traffic, ensuring continuity of service during fan maintenance or failure events.
• Designed for High-Availability Platforms — Purpose-built as a spare for the CCR2216 and CRS518, this fan integrates directly with those chassis without modification or additional hardware.
• Reduces Unplanned Downtime — Having a spare fan module on-site allows operations teams to respond immediately to a fan fault alert without scheduling a maintenance window, keeping mean time to repair low.
