Middle Atlantic SNE27D-4536-P1 – 45U Security Network Enclosure, 27W x 36D

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE27D-4536-P1 is a fully configured 45U security network enclosure designed for digital, IP-based security systems built around high-density cabling, network equipment, and servers. The 27-inch width adds side room for cable management, while the 36-inch overall depth fits equipment rooms where a full-depth rack will not. It ships ready for commercial deployment with passive front-to-rear ventilation, locking side panels, and cage-nut rackrail pre-installed. Integrators and IT teams use the SNE Series Digital as the head-end rack for surveillance, access control, and network infrastructure.

Product Description

This SNE Series Digital enclosure is delivered as a complete kit rather than a bare frame, which shortens rack-build time on security system integration projects. Passive front-to-rear cooling moves air through a 70% open area vented front door and a 70% open area split rear door — no fans, no added noise, no powered ventilation to maintain. The solid top includes a brush cable pass-through for clean overhead cable entry.

With 45 rackspaces in a 36-inch-deep footprint, the enclosure offers high equipment capacity in rooms where a 42-inch-deep rack is too large. Two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail accept standard 19-inch equipment, and 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws come in the box. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible, accepting all 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories so installers can mount encoders, power supplies, and access control system components tool-free instead of consuming rackspaces.

A pair of split, flush-mount locking side panels secures physical access, and the enclosure is UL/ETL listed and seismic certified for government and institutional installations with code requirements. Four casters and four leveling feet are included for positioning and final installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SNE27D-4536-P1 designed for?
The SNE Series Digital configuration targets digital, IP-based security systems — network video recorders, switches, servers, and high-density structured cabling — plus general network equipment rooms.

Will standard 19-inch equipment mount in this enclosure?
Yes. The two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail accept standard EIA 19-inch rack-mount equipment, and 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws are included.

Why choose the 36-inch depth over the 42-inch version?
The 36-inch overall depth fits closets and equipment rooms where a deeper rack will not, while the 45U height keeps total capacity high. Verify your deepest device plus cabling clearance before ordering.

What does Lever Lock compatibility add?
Lever Lock is Middle Atlantic's tool-free mounting system. This enclosure accepts 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories for mounting small devices such as encoders, power supplies, and access control components without consuming rackspaces.

Is it certified for code-driven projects?
Yes. The enclosure is UL/ETL listed and seismic certified, supporting specification in government and institutional installations.

How is installation handled?
The enclosure ships fully configured with four casters for positioning and four leveling feet for final placement, so crews can roll it in, level it, and start racking equipment.

What warranty and support apply?
Middle Atlantic enclosures carry the manufacturer's warranty through Legrand AV. Creation Networks can confirm current terms and assist with configuration or volume quotes for multi-rack deployments.
