Middle Atlantic SNE27D-4236-P1 – 42U Security Network Enclosure, 27"W x 36"D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE27D-4236-P1 is a fully configured 42-rackspace security network enclosure built for digital, IP-based security systems with high-density cabling, network equipment, and servers. At 27 inches wide and 36 inches deep, the extra-wide footprint gives integrators the cable management room that IP surveillance and access control head-ends demand. The P1 configuration ships ready for passive front-to-rear cooling with vented doors, locking side panels, and adjustable rackrail already in place. It is UL/ETL listed and seismic certified for commercial deployment in regulated facilities.

Product Description

Middle Atlantic's SNE Series Digital enclosures are purpose-built for the convergence of security, networking, and IT infrastructure in a single cabinet. The SNE27D-4236-P1 provides 42 rackspaces of mounting capacity in a 27-inch wide, 36-inch deep frame, giving installers generous side clearance for vertical cable management and high-count network cabling runs. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and accepts all 21-inch Lever Lock vertical accessories, so small devices such as encoders, power supplies, and access control system components mount tool-free outside the rackrail without consuming rackspaces.

Airflow is handled by a passive front-to-rear path: a 70 percent open area vented front door draws air across the equipment and exhausts through a 70 percent open area split rear door, while the solid top with brush cable pass-through keeps overhead cable entry clean. A pair of split, flush-mount locking side panels secures the enclosure on both sides, and two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail with 6mm hardware accommodate varying equipment depths. Middle Atlantic includes 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws, four leveling feet, and four casters, so the cabinet can roll into position during integration and then be leveled for permanent installation. UL/ETL listing and seismic certification support installation in government, education, and enterprise facilities with strict compliance requirements.
