Middle Atlantic SNE27D-4542-P1AB – 45RU SNE Digital Enclosure, Add-a-Bay

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE27D-4542-P1AB is a 27-inch-wide, 45-rackspace, 42-inch-deep SNE Series Digital security network enclosure configured for digital, IP-based security systems with high-density cabling, network equipment, and servers. It ships fully configured with passive front-to-rear ventilation, vented doors, rackrail, and mounting hardware, so integrators can deploy it without assembling an enclosure from separate components. The P1AB Add-a-Bay designation makes this model the expansion bay for growing an existing SNE enclosure row. It is a standard choice for security head-ends, network rooms, and data center installations in commercial deployment.

Product Description

The SNE Series Digital was configured specifically for IP-based security systems, where dense cabling, network switches, NVRs, and servers all converge in one enclosure. The SNE27D-4542-P1AB provides 45 rackspaces in a 27-inch-wide, 42-inch-deep footprint, giving installation teams generous capacity plus the extra width that high-density cable management requires. Passive front-to-rear cooling is built into the configuration: a 70 percent open-area vented front door, a 70 percent open-area split rear door, and a solid top with brush cable pass-through move air across equipment without active fans. Two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail are included along with 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws, so equipment mounting can begin the day the enclosure arrives. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and accepts all Lever Lock vertical 21-inch accessories, giving integrators tool-free mounting for small devices such as encoders, power supplies, and access control system components. UL/ETL listing and seismic certification support projects with formal compliance requirements, including government and institutional work. Four leveling feet and four casters are included, covering both fixed installation and roll-in deployment workflows. As the Add-a-Bay configuration, this model is intended to gang onto an existing SNE bay when a security or network installation outgrows its first enclosure. Pair it with SNE accessories and power distribution from our Middle Atlantic collection to complete the installation.
