Middle Atlantic SNE27-CFD-45 – SNE27 Fan Door Assembly 45U

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE27-CFD-45 is a fan front-and-rear door assembly for the SNE27 enclosure series, providing active forced-air cooling for a 45U SNE27 enclosure configuration. This kit adds intake and exhaust fan doors to a compatible SNE27 rack frame, converting it into a thermally managed enclosure with directional front-to-rear airflow. AV integrators and IT managers searching for a 45U SNE27 fan door cooling kit, a Middle Atlantic large-format fan door assembly, or an SNE27 active cooling enclosure accessory will find this assembly appropriate for high-density, full-height equipment deployments with significant heat management requirements.

Product Description

The SNE27-CFD-45 fan door assembly attaches to a compatible SNE27 enclosure to add active airflow management without consuming internal rack units. The assembly includes both a front intake fan door and a rear exhaust fan door, working together to push ambient air across all 45 rack units of installed equipment and exhaust heated air from the rear of the enclosure. The 45U configuration of this assembly corresponds to the larger SNE27 enclosure, which is taller than the SNE24 series and accommodates more equipment in a single cabinet. This is particularly relevant for high-density deployments where servers, power amplifiers, and network gear are stacked across a full-height enclosure and generate heat loads that passive ventilation cannot adequately manage. The CFD (Combined Fan Door) design integrates fans directly into the door structure, keeping all 45 rack units available for equipment installation. As with all SNE series fan door assemblies, this unit is sold separately from the enclosure frame. Available through Creation Networks, an authorized Middle Atlantic distributor serving AV integrators and IT infrastructure teams.

Key Features

• Active Front-to-Rear Airflow — Forced-air cooling across all 45 rack units, from front intake to rear exhaust.
• Fan-Integrated Door Design — Fans built into door structure; all 45 rack units remain available for equipment.
• Combined Front and Rear Assembly — Single kit includes both intake and exhaust fan doors.
• 45U Configuration — Matches SNE27 full-height enclosures at 45U.
• SNE27 Series Compatible — Designed specifically for the SNE27 rack frame family.
• Thermal Risk Reduction — Addresses heat loads in fully populated high-density enclosures.
• No Rack Unit Consumption — Fan hardware does not occupy any of the 45 available rack spaces.

Typical Applications

• Fully populated 45U AV and IT enclosures with high aggregate heat loads
• Enterprise data and AV rooms without dedicated per-rack HVAC
• Broadcast and production infrastructure with dense full-height cabinet configurations
• Server and network deployments in warm ambient environments
• Upgrading existing SNE27 open frames or enclosures to thermally managed systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SNE27-CFD-45 and the SNE24-CFD-42?

The SNE27-CFD-45 is designed for the SNE27 enclosure series at 45U, while the SNE24-CFD-42 fits SNE24 enclosures at 42U. The SNE27 series accommodates a taller cabinet. Both are available at creationnetworks.net.

Does this assembly require a separate SNE27 enclosure?

Yes. The SNE27-CFD-45 is an accessory and requires a compatible SNE27 enclosure frame sold separately. See the full SNE27 product line at creationnetworks.net.

What power does the fan door require?

Integrated fans require electrical connection. Consult Middle Atlantic documentation or contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for power specifications and wiring guidance.
