Middle Atlantic SNE27H-4536-A1 – 45U 36" Deep Hybrid Security Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE27H-4536-A1 is a 45-rackspace, 27.6" wide, 36" deep hybrid security network enclosure designed for systems that combine analog and digital equipment in a single rack. Its 36" depth suits equipment rooms and AV closets where floor space is limited but rack capacity requirements remain high, offering 45U in a more compact footprint. The A1 configuration provides active thermal management through a 660 CFM fan top with proportional thermostatic controller. Pre-configured rackrail, doors, side panels, and cable management reduce assembly time during installation and commercial deployment.

Product Description

The SNE Series Hybrid pre-configured enclosure solves a recurring AV integration challenge: analog equipment mounts on 10-32 tapped rail while servers and network switches require cage-nut rail. The SNE27H-4536-A1 includes two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail along with a unique four-rackspace cage-nut adaptor pair, allowing both equipment types to share one enclosure during phased analog-to-IP migrations.

Cooling is handled by top active ventilation: a 660 CFM fan top with a proportional thermostatic controller that increases or decreases fan output based on heat load, drawing intake air through the 70% open area front door. A pair of split flush mount locking side panels encloses the rack for security and controlled airflow. An included 6" wide vertical wire grid lace strip supports clean vertical cable dressing, and the 27.6" width leaves working room beside the rackrail for cable routing. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and ships with two vertical 10" wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates for tool-free mounting of power supplies, encoders, and access control devices. UL listing and seismic certification support government and code-driven projects, while four leveling feet and four casters simplify placement and final leveling.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What systems is the SNE27H-4536-A1 designed for?
It is built for hybrid systems mixing analog and digital equipment, such as security and AV installations that combine legacy analog gear with IP network equipment and servers.

How do I mount cage-nut equipment in a 10-32 tapped rack?
The enclosure includes a unique four-rackspace cage-nut adaptor pair, so servers and network hardware requiring cage nuts mount alongside analog equipment on the 10-32 tapped rackrail.

How is cooling managed?
The A1 configuration uses top active ventilation: a 660 CFM fan top with a proportional thermostatic controller that scales fan speed to heat load, with intake through the 70% open area front door.

Is the enclosure Lever Lock compatible?
Yes. It includes two vertical 10" wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates for tool-free mounting of small devices such as power supplies and encoders.

Does it meet certification requirements for institutional projects?
Yes. The enclosure is UL listed and seismic certified, supporting government and code-sensitive installations.

What is included for installation?
The package includes two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail, the cage-nut adaptor pair, split flush mount locking side panels, a 6" vertical wire grid lace strip, four leveling feet, and four casters.
