Middle Atlantic SNE24H-2436-A1 – 24U 36"D Hybrid AV Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24H-2436-A1 is a 24-inch wide, 24-space, 36-inch deep hybrid pre-configured enclosure built for AV systems that combine analog and digital equipment in a single rack. The hybrid configuration pairs 10-32 tapped rackrail with a 4RU cage nut adaptor, so traditional AV gear and cage-nut-mounted network hardware install side by side. Active thermal management is built in, with a 660 CFM fan top, proportional thermostatic controller, and flush-mount side panels managing heat from mixed equipment loads. It is a ready-to-deploy choice for integrators outfitting conference rooms, training facilities, and institutional equipment closets.

Product Description

The SNE Series Hybrid Pre-Configured enclosure removes the guesswork from racking mixed analog and digital systems. Two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail handle conventional rackmount AV equipment, while the included four-space cage nut adaptor pair accommodates servers, switches, and other hardware that requires cage nut mounting. Thermal management is configured for top active ventilation: the included 660 CFM fan top with proportional thermostatic controller ramps airflow to match the heat load, drawing air through the 70 percent open front door and exhausting it through the top of the enclosure. The pair of split flush-mount locking side panels secures side access while preserving the airflow path. Installers gain additional mounting real estate through Lever Lock compatibility, with two vertical 10-inch wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates included for tool-free side mounting of power and signal accessories. A 6-inch wide vertical wire grid lace strip organizes cable bundles inside the enclosure, and both leveling feet and casters are included, so the rack can be loaded at the bench, rolled into position, and leveled in place. UL listing and seismic certification support specification in government and institutional AV integration projects. Explore companion enclosures and accessories in our Middle Atlantic collection.
