Middle Atlantic SNE30-FAD-PM-42 – SNE Front-Air Dam Panel Mount Pair, 42SP

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30-FAD-PM-42 is a pair of front-air dam and zero-U panel mount accessories for 30-inch wide, 42-space SNE Series enclosures. The air dam controls airflow at the front of wider SNE racks, helping direct cooling air through equipment rather than around it. At the same time, each panel includes knockouts for mounting standard patch panels and connectivity hardware in the zero-U zone beside the rackrail, so connectivity does not consume usable rack spaces. Steel construction with a black powder coat finish matches the SNE enclosure.

Product Description

Wider racks like the 30-inch SNE Security Network Enclosure leave open area on either side of the 19-inch equipment envelope, and that open area creates two problems: cooling air can bypass equipment at the front of the rack, and side space goes unused while patch panels eat up rack units. The SNE30-FAD-PM-42 front-air dam pair addresses both. Installed at the front of a 42-space, 30-inch wide SNE enclosure, the dams close off the bypass path so front-to-back airflow is forced through the equipment, supporting predictable thermal performance in network and security installations. Each dam also doubles as a zero-U panel mount: knockouts accept standard patch panels and other connectivity devices, letting you land copper and fiber terminations vertically beside the rackrail instead of consuming rack spaces. That recovered space matters in head-end and IDF builds where every rack unit is committed. The panels are formed from steel and finished in black powder coat to match Middle Atlantic SNE hardware, and they are sold as a pair to outfit both sides of the enclosure. Note that some catalog listings abbreviate this part as a fan/panel mount; the product is a Front-Air Dam Panel Mount pair, consistent with its SNE front-air dam product family.
