Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Professionally tested, open box cooling for the MX960. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This open box Juniper FFANTRAY-MX960-HC is the high-capacity fan tray designed exclusively for the Juniper MX960 Universal Edge Router. Housing twelve fans in a single tray, this unit delivers the elevated airflow required to sustain full-density line card configurations including high-density DPCs and MPCs. The tray installs in either the upper or lower fan tray slot of the MX960 chassis and has been professionally tested and inspected prior to shipment.The FFANTRAY-MX960-HC is hot-insertable and hot-removable, allowing replacement without interrupting live network operations. Air enters through a single front intake, travels up through the card cage, and exhausts out the upper rear of the chassis — a well-established front-to-rear cooling architecture designed to protect high-density routing hardware in continuous operation. The host subsystem actively monitors component temperatures and automatically adjusts fan speed; if ambient temperatures exceed threshold, the system can safely disable output power to prevent hardware damage.
This open box FFANTRAY-MX960-HC delivers a significant savings versus a new replacement, making it an ideal choice for operators running or expanding an MX960 deployment who need a verified spare or immediate replacement. WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified testing process ensures every unit meets operational standards before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. According to official Juniper documentation, this high-capacity fan tray is designed for installation in either the upper or lower fan tray slot of the MX960 chassis. When upgrading from normal-capacity fan trays, both slots must be upgraded simultaneously.
Yes. Per official Juniper documentation, when replacing normal-capacity fan trays with high-capacity fan trays on the MX960, you must also replace the front air filter tray with a high-capacity filter tray and air filter. Failing to do so can compromise airflow and cooling effectiveness.
Yes. The FFANTRAY-MX960-HC is hot-insertable and hot-removable per Juniper's official hardware documentation, meaning it can be replaced while the router remains in operation without service interruption.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
