InLine Vibration Decoupling for 80 mm Fans

This InLine Vibration Decoupling for Fans InLine 36208I is a small grey rubber plate designed to be mounted between an 80 mm fan and the computer case. It reduces transmission of fan vibrations and associated noise to the chassis, helping to achieve quieter fan operation without modifying the fan itself.

Advantages

The decoupler is made of durable rubber that absorbs and isolates vibrations from the fan, is compatible with standard 80 mm fan installations, and is simple to install without special tools. Its compact design minimizes impact on airflow and fits typical mounting layouts.

Key specifications

How to use

Place the rubber decoupling plate between the fan frame and the case at the mounting points so that it sits between the fan and the chassis. Align the fan and use the original screws or appropriate mounts to secure the fan through or around the decoupler, ensuring the rubber remains between the metal parts to provide isolation. Verify that the fan is mounted securely and that airflow is unobstructed before powering the system.

Recommendations

For best results, use the decoupler with standard 80 mm fans and check periodic wear of the rubber; replace if cracked or hardened. Avoid excessive compression that could reduce isolation performance.
