Middle Atlantic SNE24F-4548 SNE24W FR,10/32,45UX48D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24F-4548 is a 24-inch wide, 45U open rack frame configured with 10-32 tapped rails and an extended 48-inch usable depth, making it one of the deepest options in the SNE24F series. It is engineered for AV integration and IT infrastructure environments where equipment depth exceeds the capacity of standard 36- or 42-inch racks. The open-frame design ensures unrestricted airflow on all sides, a critical factor when housing high-heat equipment such as power amplifiers, servers, and UPS systems in a single enclosure.

Product Description

The SNE24F-4548 extends the trusted SNE24F platform to a 48-inch depth, addressing deployments where deep 2U and 4U servers, large-format AV matrix switchers, or oversized UPS units must be accommodated within a single rack footprint. The 24-inch interior width meets the standard EIA 19-inch equipment envelope while providing moderate side clearance for cable routing and airflow. At 45U, the frame offers maximum vertical density for head-end rooms, equipment closets, and data center colocation bays where rack count is limited. The 10-32 tapped rail system is the standard for professional AV work and eliminates the need for cage nuts when mounting amplifiers, switchers, routers, DSPs, and media servers. Middle Atlantic's SNE Series frames are constructed from welded steel and ship fully assembled, reducing on-site installation time. The open-frame architecture permits rear and side access without panel removal, enabling faster equipment installation, cable management, and maintenance. Leveling feet allow stable installation on uneven concrete and raised-floor environments. The SNE24F-4548 is fully compatible with Middle Atlantic's accessory portfolio, including horizontal cable managers, lacing bars, rack-mount PDUs, and vented blanking panels, supporting long-term infrastructure growth. Available through authorized resellers including Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose 48-inch depth over 42-inch depth?

When equipment depth exceeds 40 inches — common with high-density servers, large UPS systems, or deep AV processing chassis — a 48-inch rack provides rear clearance for cable egress and prevents equipment from extending beyond the rear of the frame.

Are 10-32 tapped rails compatible with my AV equipment?

Yes. 10-32 threaded rails are the standard for professional AV rack equipment. Most amplifiers, DSPs, switchers, and media servers use 10-32 screws and mount directly without cage nuts or adapters.

What is the load capacity of the SNE24F-4548?

Middle Atlantic SNE Series frames are rated for substantial equipment loads. Consult the official Middle Atlantic product documentation or contact Creation Networks for specific weight capacity data.

Where can I purchase the SNE24F-4548?

The SNE24F-4548 is available through Creation Networks, an authorized Middle Atlantic reseller.
