Based on this I'd say outlet.
"Fan performance curves and data show how much pressure and airflow a
given fan can produce at a given speed. This data is based on the system
resistance (pressure) occurring away from the fan. Fan performance
curves are developed by fan manufacturers based on the testing of a
prototype fan fabricated based on the theoretical design."
