Original ebmpapst 4600N-466 axial fan
The CAFELE 4600N-466 is an original ebmpapst axial fan built for 115 V AC mains supply. It measures 120 × 120 × 38 mm and draws 17 W at 50 Hz or 18 W at 60 Hz. The ball-bearing motor delivers a maximum free-air flow of 157,7 m³/h at 50 Hz and 179,3 m³/h at 60 Hz. Protection class I and a metal frame suit industrial and server environments.
Suits 115 V AC equipment racks, not 12 V DC builds
This fan suits installers who need a 115 V AC axial unit with ball bearings and high-temperature resistance. It fits enclosures that accept a 120 mm square frame and can supply mains voltage directly. Builders working with standard 12 V DC motherboard headers or PWM control should look at something else, as this model has no low-voltage or speed-control interface.
115 V AC nominal voltage decides compatibility
The single specification that decides fit is the 115 V AC nominal voltage combined with 50/60 Hz mains frequency. Only systems that provide mains-level AC power and a 120 × 120 mm mounting pattern can use this fan. Any chassis or controller limited to 12 V DC cannot drive it.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need to buy a power cable or mounting screws separately?
The package contains only the fan unit itself. A 115 V power lead and mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.
The specs list two airflow and speed figures — how do I choose between them?
The fan runs at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. At 50 Hz it delivers 157,7 m³/h at 2 680 rpm; at 60 Hz it delivers 179,3 m³/h at 3 060 rpm. Match the figure to your local mains frequency.
What does the 18 W power rating mean once the fan is installed in a case?
The motor draws 17 W at 50 Hz and 18 W at 60 Hz from a 115 V supply, so your PSU or fan controller must provide that AC power — it is not a 12 V PWM fan.
