Akasa, a leading provider of thermal solutions, has expanded its Kepler fanless case series with the Kepler R, a 2U rack-mountable fanless case for microATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Building on the Kepler design, the Kepler R introduces a 120 W redundant, hot-swappable ATX power supply unit (PSU), allowing system integrators to keep their systems running even if one PSU module fails. This makes it ideal for critical applications, including enterprise servers, embedded computing, industrial control systems, audiovisual equipment, and medical devices that require silent operation, 24/7 reliability and zero downtime.

The chassis is compatible with microATX and Mini-ITX motherboards with Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700 sockets, supporting Intel Core (12th/13th/14th Gen) and Core Ultra (15th Gen) processors up to 35 W TDP. Built with a fully fanless design, it uses a high-performance aluminium thermal module and dual copper heatpipes to transfer heat efficiently from the CPU to the external aluminium fins, increasing surface area for rapid dissipation into the surrounding air without any moving parts.
