Middle Atlantic SNE30D-4542-P1 – 45U 30" Wide Digital Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30D-4542-P1 is a 45U, 30-inch wide digital security network enclosure configured for IP-based systems built on high-density cabling, network equipment, and servers. The extra-wide 30-inch frame gives integrators added lateral room for vertical cable management and Zero-U accessories alongside mounted equipment. With 42 inches of overall depth and passive front-to-rear cooling, it suits data centers and equipment rooms where quiet, fan-free operation is preferred.

Product Description

Part of Middle Atlantic's SNE Series Digital lineup, the SNE30D-4542-P1 arrives fully configured, which shortens on-site assembly during commercial deployment. The 30-inch width is the defining advantage for high-density network installations: the additional side space accommodates structured cabling bundles, power distribution, and Lever Lock accessories without crowding the 19-inch mounting area. Two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail ship installed, with 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws included, so switches, servers, and network video recorders can be racked immediately.

The P1 configuration uses passive front-to-rear cooling. Air enters through the 70 percent open vented front door, flows across the equipment, and exits through the 70 percent open split rear door — no fans, no fan noise, and no powered ventilation to maintain. The solid top includes a brush cable pass-through for overhead cable entry while limiting dust intrusion, a practical detail for rooms with overhead ladder rack or tray. A pair of split flush-mount locking side panels secures the sides while keeping service access manageable. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and accepts all 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories, providing tool-free mounting for encoders, power supplies, and access control devices outside the rackspaces. UL/ETL listing and seismic certification support specification in government and institutional projects. Four casters are included for rolling the enclosure into position, and four leveling feet stabilize it at the final installation point. The SNE30D-4542-P1 also gangs cleanly into multi-bay rows with other SNE Series enclosures for larger head-end builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 30-inch wide version over a standard 24-inch enclosure?
The additional six inches of width provides dedicated space for vertical cable management, power distribution, and Lever Lock accessories alongside the 19-inch equipment mounting area — valuable in high-density IP deployments with large cable bundles.

How is the SNE30D-4542-P1 cooled?
It uses passive front-to-rear cooling: air enters the 70 percent open vented front door and exits the 70 percent open split rear door. There are no fans, so operation is silent and maintenance-free.

Does it support overhead cable entry?
Yes. The solid top includes a brush cable pass-through, allowing cabling from overhead ladder rack or tray to enter the enclosure while limiting dust intrusion.

Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. Two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail and 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws are included, so most network and server equipment can be installed out of the box.

Can small devices be mounted without consuming rack spaces?
Yes. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and accepts all 21-inch vertical Lever Lock accessories for tool-free Zero-U mounting of encoders, power supplies, and access control devices.

Is this enclosure suitable for seismic-rated projects?
Yes. It is UL/ETL listed and seismic certified, supporting government and institutional installations with seismic anchoring requirements.
