Middle Atlantic SNE24H-4236-A1 – 42U Hybrid Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE24H-4236-A1 is a 42U security network enclosure built for commercial installations that combine analog and digital equipment in a single rack. As part of the SNE Series of hybrid pre-configured enclosures, it pairs 10-32 tapped adjustable rackrail with a four-space cage-nut adaptor, so integrators can mount traditional AV gear and network hardware side by side. At 24 inches wide and 36 inches deep, it provides the footprint and active thermal management needed for dense head-end and equipment room deployments.

Product Description

The SNE24H-4236-A1 addresses a common challenge in commercial AV and security integration: housing a mix of analog and digital components in one enclosure without compromising mounting flexibility or cooling. It ships with two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail for standard rack-mount equipment, plus a unique 4RU cage-nut adaptor pair for hardware that requires cage-nut mounting, such as network switches and servers. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and includes two vertical 10-inch wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates, giving installers Zero-U space for power supplies, encoders, and other small devices that would otherwise consume rack spaces.

Thermal management is handled actively. The enclosure is configured for top active ventilation and includes a 660 CFM fan top with a proportional thermostatic controller that scales airflow to the heat load, paired with a 70 percent open front door, solid top, and flush-mount split locking side panels that maintain a controlled airflow path. Cable management is supported by an included 6-inch wide vertical wire grid lace. The unit is UL listed and seismic certified, making it suitable for government and institutional projects with code-driven requirements. Four casters simplify loading and positioning during installation, and four leveling feet secure the enclosure in its final location. For integrators standardizing on Middle Atlantic infrastructure, this 42-space enclosure slots directly into existing rack elevation standards and accessory ecosystems.
