Middle Atlantic SNE24-CFD-24 – SNE24 Fan Door Assembly 24U

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24-CFD-24 is a fan front-and-rear door assembly for the SNE24 enclosure series, providing active forced-air cooling for a 24U SNE enclosure configuration. This kit adds intake and exhaust fan doors to a compatible SNE24 open frame, converting it into a thermally managed enclosure with directional front-to-rear airflow. AV integrators and IT managers looking for a 24U SNE enclosure fan door cooling kit, a Middle Atlantic active cooling door assembly, or an SNE24 fan door 24U will find this accessory appropriate for compact equipment deployments with heat management requirements.

Product Description

The SNE24-CFD-24 fan door assembly attaches to a compatible SNE24 enclosure to add active airflow management without consuming internal rack units. The assembly includes both a front intake fan door and a rear exhaust fan door, working together to push ambient air across installed equipment and exhaust heated air from the rear of the enclosure. This is appropriate for compact 24U installations where equipment density is high relative to the enclosure size, or where the equipment room lacks supplemental HVAC targeting the rack directly. Unlike standalone fan trays that occupy rack units, the CFD (Combined Fan Door) design integrates fans into the door structure, keeping all 24 rack units available for equipment. The 24U configuration corresponds to the smaller SNE24 enclosure depth variants. Available through Creation Networks, an authorized Middle Atlantic distributor serving AV integrators and IT infrastructure teams.

Key Features

• Active Front-to-Rear Airflow — Forced-air cooling moves equipment heat from front intake to rear exhaust.
• Fan-Integrated Door Design — Fans built into door structure; no rack units consumed by fan hardware.
• Combined Front and Rear Kit — Single assembly includes both intake and exhaust fan doors.
• 24U Configuration — Matches SNE24 enclosures at compact 24U depth variants.
• SNE24 Series Compatible — Designed for the SNE24 rack frame family.
• Reduces Thermal Risk — Lowers operating temperatures in high-heat or dense compact deployments.

Typical Applications

• Compact 24U AV and IT deployments with high equipment density
• Equipment rooms without dedicated per-rack HVAC targeting
• Server and network gear in environments with elevated ambient temperatures
• Upgrading existing SNE24 open frames to thermally managed enclosures
• Broadcast and production installations with compact rack configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SNE24-CFD-24 and the SNE24-CFD-42?

The SNE24-CFD-24 is sized for SNE24 enclosures at the 24U depth configuration, while the SNE24-CFD-42 fits taller 42U SNE24 configurations. Both are available at creationnetworks.net.

Does this kit require a separate enclosure?

Yes. The SNE24-CFD-24 is an accessory that attaches to a compatible SNE24 enclosure frame. The enclosure is sold separately. See the full SNE24 product line at creationnetworks.net.

Does the fan door require electrical connection?

Yes. Integrated fans require power. Consult Middle Atlantic documentation or contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for wiring specifications.
