Middle Atlantic SNE24F-CN-4548 SNE24W FR,CN RAIL 45UX48D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24F-CN-4548 is a 24-inch wide, 45U open rack frame fitted with cage-nut universal rails and a 48-inch usable depth, targeting IT managers and AV integrators who need maximum depth capacity in a cage-nut standard enclosure. The universal rail design accommodates 10-32 and M6 cage nuts, providing compatibility across the full spectrum of enterprise server, networking, and AV processing equipment. At 45U and 48 inches deep, this frame supports the highest-density mixed-load deployments in machine rooms, data centers, and converged AV/IT infrastructure environments.

Product Description

The SNE24F-CN-4548 combines the structural depth of the SNE24F-4548 with cage-nut universal rails, making it the preferred choice when rack populations include enterprise servers, network appliances, and storage systems that use standard square-hole or cage-nut mounting. The 24-inch interior width is compatible with the EIA 19-inch equipment standard and provides moderate side clearance for structured cabling and airflow management. The 48-inch depth is designed for installations where equipment chassis exceed the 40-inch mark — including high-density blade server enclosures, large-format UPS systems, and deep AV matrix switchers that would overhang the rear rail of a standard 42-inch rack. At 45U, this frame delivers full-height vertical density for head-end rooms, dedicated equipment closets, and colocation environments. Cage-nut rails offer repositionable mounting points across the entire rail height, enabling flexible equipment placement and future reconfiguration without specialized tooling. The SNE24F-CN-4548 ships fully assembled and is immediately ready for equipment installation. The open-frame construction provides unrestricted airflow on all four sides, a critical advantage in high-heat-density deployments where enclosed cabinets would require supplemental active cooling. Compatibility with Middle Atlantic's full accessory line — including rack-mount PDUs, cable managers, lacing bars, and blanking panels — ensures the frame can be configured to meet evolving project requirements. Available through authorized channel partners including Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose cage-nut rails over 10-32 tapped rails?

Choose cage-nut rails when your rack population is primarily enterprise server hardware, network switches, or storage arrays — most of which ship with cage-nut mounting hardware. Choose 10-32 tapped rails for predominantly AV equipment such as amplifiers, DSPs, and media servers.

Does the 48-inch depth increase the frame footprint significantly?

Yes. A 48-inch rack depth requires more floor space than a 42-inch rack. Ensure your equipment room has adequate front and rear clearance to allow for cable management, airflow, and service access before specifying the 48-inch depth configuration.

Is the SNE24F-CN-4548 compatible with hot/cold aisle containment?

Open-frame racks can be used in aisle containment configurations, though they are not sealed like enclosed cabinets. Consult your cooling infrastructure design to confirm compatibility before deployment.

Where can I purchase the SNE24F-CN-4548?

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