Middle Atlantic SNE24D-4548-P1 – 45U Digital Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24D-4548-P1 is a fully configured 45U digital security network enclosure designed for IP-based security systems, network equipment, and servers with high-density cabling. The 24-inch width and 48-inch overall depth provide the room integrators need for deep servers, NVRs, and switch stacks along with rear cable service access. Passive front-to-back cooling, locking side panels, and cage-nut rackrail come pre-installed, so the enclosure is deployment-ready out of the crate. It is UL/ETL listed and seismic certified for commercial installation.

Product Description

The SNE Series Digital enclosure is purpose-built for the equipment profile of modern IP security and network deployments: high-density structured cabling, network switches, servers, and recording appliances. The SNE24D-4548-P1 provides 45 rackspaces of mounting height in a 48-inch-deep frame, giving full-depth servers and their cabling a clear service path from front to rear.

Thermal management follows a passive front-to-back airflow strategy common in data center practice. A 70 percent open area vented front door admits cool air, a 70 percent open split rear door exhausts it, and the solid top includes a brush cable pass-through that maintains airflow separation while allowing overhead cable entry. This configuration suits equipment with internal front-to-rear fans and keeps the enclosure quiet, with no powered fan top required.

Mounting hardware is IT-standard. Two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail accept 6mm hardware, and 100 cage nuts and rack screws are included in the kit. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and accepts all 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories, providing tool-free mounting for encoders, power supplies, and access control system components. A pair of split flush-mount locking side panels secures the installed equipment, and four casters plus four leveling feet handle positioning and final leveling.
