Middle Atlantic SNE24H-2436-A2 – 24U Hybrid Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24H-2436-A2 is a 24U hybrid security network enclosure designed for commercial systems that mix analog and digital equipment in a single rack. Its 24-inch width and 36-inch depth suit compact equipment rooms, while two pairs of 10-32 tapped adjustable rackrail and a 4RU cage-nut adaptor let integrators mount AV gear and network hardware together. The A2 configuration delivers high-output rear active ventilation through a 1,760 CFM split fan rear door for heat-dense equipment loads.

Product Description

The SNE24H-2436-A2 belongs to Middle Atlantic's SNE Series of hybrid pre-configured enclosures, built for installations transitioning between analog and IP-based systems or running both permanently. The dual mounting approach is the core of the design: two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail handle traditional AV and security components, while the included four-space cage-nut adaptor pair accepts network switches, servers, and other equipment that requires cage-nut mounting. This removes the need to choose between rail types when planning a mixed equipment stack.

Thermal management is active and rear-focused. The enclosure is configured for rear active ventilation and includes a 1,760 CFM split fan rear door with eight 6-inch fans, expandable for higher heat loads. Intake air enters through the 70 percent open front door, passes across the equipment, and is exhausted by the fan door, with a solid top and flush-mount split locking side panels maintaining the airflow path. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and ships with two vertical 10-inch wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates, providing tool-free Zero-U mounting for power supplies, encoders, and access control modules outside the rackspaces. UL listing and seismic certification support government and institutional specifications. An included 6-inch wide vertical wire grid lace organizes cabling, four casters ease positioning during installation, and four leveling feet secure the enclosure in place. For integrators standardizing on Middle Atlantic racks across commercial deployments, the 24U format works well where ceiling height or room footprint rules out taller enclosures.
