Review: Quality item once adapter arrived - thank you - Update: the seller sent a UK/US plug adapter super quickly over bank holiday weekend which arrived Monday. I was worried that it would need a power converter but this was not the case. Plugged it in and immediately started working. Very impressed with the product and the seller. Many thanks. This looks and feels like a great quality product but I can’t power it because there was no Uk power adapter supplied. I do not want to simply use a US to UK adapter due to the power difference and am a concerned I will blow the unit so I am waiting to hear back from the supplier. I will update this review when I hear but until then I have a great looking fan installed that I can’t use! Review: Superb Cooling Kit for Media Centre Cabinets - Congratulations to AC Infinity for producing the beautiful AIRPLATE T3 kit which saved me from buying the components (whether I would have been able to source a thermostatic probe & controller is another question!). All thought has gone into this product - from the aesthetics (the brushed metal facial looks perfect in the living room cabinet I converted) to the function (it keeps the temperature at a steady 31 degrees) to the components (includes templates for accurate hole cutting and both screws and bolts for different materials). Before I installed this extractor fan the BluRay player, the Humax and Panasonic disk recorders, the Roku and the BT YouView box pumped out heat in the enclosed wooden cabinet which required the doors to be left open in the summer. Now I have yet to see the temperature rise above 32 degrees. And an alarm will sound if it does! Terrific kit. ## Features - An ultra-quiet UL-certified fan system designed for cooling cabinets that requires minimal noise. - Automated programming that self-adjusts cooling power in response to changing temperatures. - Features a LCD display with an alarm system, display lock, six fan speeds, two buffer options, and memory. - Fan and controller contain CNC machined aluminum frames with a modern brushed black finish. - Dimensions: 16.0 x 16.0 x 3.3 cm | Airflow: 52 CFM | Noise: 18 dBA | Includes UK 3-pin 220-240V AC Wall Plug (Type G). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QFWLGPU | | Air Flow Capacity | 52 Cubic Feet Per Minute | | Brand | AC Infinity | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Receiver | | Cooling Method | Air, Water | | Cooling method | Air , Water | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,398 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 33L x 160W x 160H millimetres | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Manufacturer | AC Infinity | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_AI-APT3 | | Material | Aluminium | | Max Rotational Speed | 1300 RPM | | Model Number | FBA_AI-APT3 | | Noise Level | 18 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Connector Type | 3-Pin | | Power connector type | 3-Pin | | Product dimensions | 33L x 160W x 160H millimetres | | UPC | 854759004372 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 100 Volts | | Wattage | 10 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AC Infinity - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Receiver - **Cooling method:** Air, Water - **Material:** Aluminium - **Maximum rotational speed:** 1300 RPM - **Noise level:** 18 Decibels - **Power connector type:** 3-Pin - **Product dimensions:** 33L x 160W x 160H millimetres - **Voltage:** 100 Volts - **Wattage:** 10 watts ## Images ![AIRPLATE T3, Quiet Cooling Fan System 15cm with Thermostat Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets, 6-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Dq1LtNwfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The usb connection to the fan itself, is that removable? can i install very short usb cables as i want to install this and an s3 on a 3'x2' door? tx!** A: No, the cable is fixed to the fan. **Q: Can i use my own uk plug that has same output spec? my power socket doesn't have that much clearance for an adaptor.** A: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. At this time we do not offer UK-style adapters for our products. As a solution, we recommend using a simple travel adapter to power the unit in your area. If you have any other questions, please contact our customer support department directly through our company website and one of our Customer Service Agents will be happy to assist you. Kind regards, **Q: Hi, are these all powered by usb, or can they be powered by a uk power supply?** A: Hello, The fans are USB powered but the fan controller is not. The one I bought came with a US plug which is hardwired to the fan controller. You can buy a cheap US to UK adapter and use this in the UK. **Q: I’ve just received this item and it has a euro adapter not a uk plug as the description states. can you ship a uk plug please?** A: Also had the same issue, just for an adapter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality item once adapter arrived - thank you *by P***T on 3 June 2022* Update: the seller sent a UK/US plug adapter super quickly over bank holiday weekend which arrived Monday.

All thought has gone into this product - from the aesthetics (the brushed metal facial looks perfect in the living room cabinet I converted) to the function (it keeps the temperature at a steady 31 degrees) to the components (includes templates for accurate hole cutting and both screws and bolts for different materials).

Terrific kit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great well thought out product *by A***R on 22 March 2017* I don't often leave a review but had to for this. The quality is great, it feels sturdy and the brushed aluminium gives a nice finish. It's modular in design for adding more fans. The fan has a male and female adapter so more can be chained in if needed. If you need to cut into a surface to mount either the fan or control unit it comes with templates for marking out the recess and bolt holes. All of the cables have plenty of length if you're going to mount the control unit a distance from the fan. I modified my small rack so I could mount the control unit to the top. ## Frequently Bought Together - AC Infinity AIRPLATE T3, Quiet Cooling Fan System 6" with Thermostat Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets - AC Infinity AIRPLATE S3, Quiet Cooling Fan System 6" with Speed Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets - AC Infinity Ventilation Grille, for PC Computer AV Electronic Cabinets, Also mounts one 120mm Fan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48220193-airplate-t3-quiet-cooling-fan-system-15cm-with-thermostat-control](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48220193-airplate-t3-quiet-cooling-fan-system-15cm-with-thermostat-control) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
