Middle Atlantic SNE24D-2436-P1 – 24"W 24U 36"D Digital Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24D-2436-P1 is a 24-inch wide, 24U, 36-inch deep standalone digital enclosure designed for AV integrators and IT managers who need a compact, fully enclosed rack in constrained spaces. The D-series enclosed design with passive open-rear airflow (P1) delivers a professional finished appearance for conference rooms, classrooms, and smaller equipment closets. At 36 inches deep and 24U tall, this is the shallower, shorter model in the SNE24D line, suited for deployments where equipment depth requirements are modest.

Product Description

The SNE24D-2436-P1 provides 24U of rack space in a 24-inch wide by 36-inch deep enclosed digital enclosure, targeting AV and IT equipment deployments where both height and depth must be minimized. The 36-inch depth accommodates standard AV processors, DSPs, media players, control systems, and structured cabling patch panels without requiring the floor footprint of deeper models. The D-series enclosed frame features solid side panels that present a clean, professional appearance appropriate for facilities where the equipment room or closet is visible to clients or end users. Passive P1 airflow through the open rear provides convective thermal management for the installed equipment without mechanical cooling noise. Adjustable EIA-310 rails allow standard 19-inch equipment to be mounted at variable depths within the 36-inch interior. Side panels are removable to permit gang installation with SNE Add-a-Bay expansion units if capacity needs to grow. The welded steel frame provides structural integrity for typical AV equipment loads. The SNE24D-2436-P1 is a practical choice for conference room AV systems, digital signage infrastructure, small broadcast setups, and compact AV closets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the SNE24D-2436-P1 compare to the SNE24D-2442-P1?

A: Both are 24U enclosures in the SNE24D series. The SNE24D-2436-P1 is 36 inches deep while the SNE24D-2442-P1 is 42 inches deep. Choose the 36-inch model when your equipment does not require additional depth, saving floor footprint.

Q: Is this a suitable enclosure for a 1RU audio DSP and standard AV processors?

A: Yes. A 24U enclosure at 36-inch depth is well matched to a typical conference room AV equipment complement including audio DSPs, media players, control processors, and patch panels.

Q: Can this enclosure be expanded later with Add-a-Bay units?

A: Yes. Middle Atlantic SNE24 Add-a-Bay units are compatible with this primary enclosure. Remove the side panels to gang the expansion unit.

Q: Does the open rear affect security?

A: The rear of the P1 configuration is open for airflow. If rear access security is required, consider adding a rear door panel accessory. Contact creationnetworks.net for available options.

Q: What tools are required for installation?

A: Standard hand tools are required for rail adjustment and equipment mounting. No special tooling is needed for initial enclosure assembly.

Q: Where can I order this enclosure?

A: The SNE24D-2436-P1 is available at creationnetworks.net.
