Middle Atlantic SNE30D-4542-P2 – 45U 30"W Digital Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30D-4542-P2 is a 45-rackspace, 30" wide, 42" deep security network enclosure configured for digital, IP-based security systems built around high-density cabling, network equipment, and servers. The P2 configuration provides passive chimney cooling, moving heat out of the enclosure without fans for quiet, low-maintenance operation in data centers and security equipment rooms. It arrives fully configured with doors, side panels, rackrail, and hardware, reducing on-site assembly time during commercial deployment. UL/ETL listing and seismic certification support installations in government and code-sensitive facilities.

Product Description

The SNE Series Digital enclosure is purpose-built for the equipment mix found in modern IP security head ends: network switches, recording servers, encoders, power supplies, and access control hardware. The 30" width leaves dedicated vertical space beside the rackrail for high-density cable management, a practical advantage when integrators terminate large counts of camera and network runs inside a single enclosure.

The P2 passive chimney cooling package includes a 70% open area vented front door, solid split rear door, chimney top, front air-dam, and a solid bottom with air-diverter. Together these components channel intake air through equipment and exhaust it through the chimney top, supporting thermal management without active fans. A pair of split flush mount locking side panels secures side access, and two pairs of adjustable cage-nut rackrail with 6mm hardware accept standard rack-mount equipment. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible, accepting all 21" vertical Lever Lock accessories for tool-free mounting of small devices such as encoders, power supplies, and access control system components. The package includes 100 6mm cage nuts and rack screws, four leveling feet, and four casters for positioning during installation. Pair it with cable management and power accessories from the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks.
