Very high quality printed part that matches really well with the UCG-Fiber.
I paired it with an old iPad charger that only delivers 5 volts of power. In my testing, a 9V charger barely made the module cooler, but was substantially louder. I’m really happy with this cooler.
Before ordering my SFP+ module I already knew the importance of having some form of cooling not just for a long life span but also prevent overheating as reliability can be affected if optical temps get too high.
Not having 3D printer and much less the tinkering aptitude to source the components and build a cooler myself, I was delighted to see EXEN not only had me covered but also designed a custom cooler for my very own UCG-Fiber router.
Installation was very easy thanks to the the strong adhesive fasteners, just peel the film off and align the curved edge with the UCG's and hold/press it in place for a solid mount, connect a USB-C cable to power and you're done.
The fan is barely audible to me running at 5V from a standard USB port off my UPS and keeps my highest temps below 55c even in my stuffy network closet.
The build quality feels very solid as well, definitely not a cheap 3D print, I believe he uses some kind of glass resin filament and I think the design looks pretty slick!
