Middle Atlantic SNE30D-4248-P1 – 42U Wide Digital Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30D-4248-P1 is a fully configured 42U digital security network enclosure built for IP-based security systems with high-density cabling, network equipment, and servers. Its 30-inch width is the defining advantage: the extra-wide frame leaves generous side channels for vertical cable bundles and tool-free accessory mounting alongside standard 19-inch equipment. With a 48-inch overall depth, passive front-to-back cooling, and locking side panels pre-installed, it deploys as a complete head-end solution for commercial installation. The enclosure is UL/ETL listed and seismic certified.

Product Description

High-density IP security and network deployments generate large cable counts that a standard-width rack struggles to manage cleanly. The SNE30D-4248-P1 answers this with a 30-inch-wide frame, providing dedicated vertical space on both sides of the rackrail for structured cabling, patch bundles, and small-device mounting without crowding the equipment airflow path.

The enclosure follows data center thermal practice with passive front-to-back cooling. A 70 percent open area vented front door supplies intake air, a 70 percent open split rear door handles exhaust, and the solid top with brush cable pass-through admits overhead cabling while keeping the airflow path intact. Because cooling is passive, there is no fan top noise, which suits enclosures located in or near occupied spaces.

Mounting follows IT convention: two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail with 6mm hardware are pre-installed, and 100 cage nuts and rack screws are included. The frame is Lever Lock compatible and accepts all 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories, providing tool-free mounting for encoders, power supplies, and access control system components in the wide side channels. A pair of split flush-mount locking side panels secures the installation, while four casters and four leveling feet support positioning and final leveling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 30-inch-wide version over a 24-inch SNE enclosure?
The 30-inch frame adds vertical side channels beside the 19-inch mounting rails, which is valuable for high-density cabling, large patch bundles, and Lever Lock accessory mounting that would crowd a standard-width enclosure.

What equipment is the SNE30D-4248-P1 configured for?
It is built for digital, IP-based security and network systems: switches, servers, NVRs, encoders, power supplies, and access control components with high-density structured cabling.

Does the enclosure include active cooling?
No. The P1 configuration uses passive front-to-back airflow through the vented front and split rear doors, appropriate for equipment with internal front-to-rear fans and quieter than a fan-top enclosure.

Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. Two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail come pre-installed with 6mm hardware, and 100 cage nuts and rack screws are included.

Can I mount small non-rackmount devices?
Yes. The enclosure accepts all 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories, enabling tool-free mounting of encoders, power supplies, and access control devices in the side channels.

Is this enclosure suitable for seismic-rated specifications?
Yes. It is seismic certified and UL/ETL listed, meeting requirements common in government and institutional projects.

What warranty and support are available?
Middle Atlantic enclosures carry the manufacturer's warranty. Creation Networks can assist with accessory selection, configuration questions, and project quotes for commercial deployments.
