Middle Atlantic SNE24D-2442-P1 – 24"W 24U 42"D Digital Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24D-2442-P1 is a 24-inch wide, 24U, 42-inch deep standalone digital enclosure intended for AV integrators and IT managers who need a compact, fully enclosed rack solution. The D-series enclosed design with passive open-rear airflow (P1) makes this enclosure well suited for conference rooms, control spaces, and smaller equipment rooms where a professional finished appearance is required. Its 24U height and 42-inch depth provide sufficient capacity for AV processors, media players, control systems, and associated structured cabling in mid-size installations.

Product Description

The SNE24D-2442-P1 is a 24U digital enclosure measuring 24 inches wide by 42 inches deep, designed for AV system integrators and facility IT managers deploying equipment in confined or customer-facing spaces. The D-series enclosed frame provides solid side panels that give a finished, professional look appropriate for boardrooms, lecture halls, and healthcare or government facilities where equipment aesthetics matter. Passive P1 airflow through the open rear allows natural convection cooling for amplifiers, media servers, and AV processing equipment without requiring powered fan trays. The 42-inch depth supports deep rackmount equipment such as AV amplifiers, video distribution processors, and rackmount UPS units. Adjustable EIA-310 rails accommodate standard 19-inch equipment at variable mounting positions. Side panels are removable to allow side-by-side gang installation when additional rack capacity is needed. The 24U height is appropriate for installations where a full 45U enclosure would be oversized relative to the equipment complement. The SNE24D-2442-P1 is available at creationnetworks.net and is a reliable choice for controlled-environment AV and IT deployments requiring a compact enclosed rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the SNE24D-2442-P1 a standalone enclosure or does it require a primary unit?

A: This is a standalone primary enclosure. It does not require attachment to another unit. Add-a-Bay expansion units can be added later if additional rack space is needed.

Q: How does passive airflow work in an enclosed D-series enclosure?

A: The P1 passive airflow configuration uses an open rear panel to allow heat to exit via natural convection. The enclosed side panels and front frame contain the enclosure footprint while allowing adequate thermal management for most AV and IT equipment operating within standard ratings.

Q: Can the SNE24D-2442-P1 be expanded with Add-a-Bay units?

A: Yes. Middle Atlantic SNE Add-a-Bay units are compatible with this enclosure. Side panels are removable to allow gang installation of expansion bays.

Q: What equipment fits in a 24U enclosure?

A: 24U accommodates a typical AV equipment complement including audio DSPs, media players, video distribution amplifiers, control processors, and structured cabling patch panels for a single room or small zone deployment.

Q: Does this enclosure ship with rack rails?

A: Yes, adjustable EIA-310 rack rails are included. Rail positions are adjustable to accommodate equipment at various depths within the 42-inch interior.

Q: Where can I order this enclosure?

A: The SNE24D-2442-P1 is available at creationnetworks.net.
