Middle Atlantic SNE30F-4248 – 30" Frame, 10-32 Rails, 42U×48"

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30F-4248 is a 30-inch-wide, open-frame rack enclosure providing 42U of mounting space in a 48-inch depth footprint. Built on the SNE30 platform, it ships with two pairs of 10-32 threaded rack rails and accepts panels, doors, and side trim as separate add-ons. UL listed and seismic certified, it suits both data center rows and AV equipment rooms where panel selection must remain flexible.

Product Description

The SNE30F-4248 is the frame-only configuration of Middle Atlantic's SNE30 Series, giving integrators a pre-engineered structural shell without locking them into a specific panel package at time of purchase. The 30-inch overall width fits standard raised-floor tile grids and aligns with adjacent SNE enclosures for multi-bay deployments. At 42U of rack space and 48 inches of usable depth, the frame accommodates full-depth servers, high-density patch fields, and AV signal-processing gear in the same cabinet footprint. Two pairs of adjustable 10-32 threaded rack rails are included and slide fore-aft to align equipment flanges at any standard depth. The welded steel frame carries a UL listing and seismic certification, satisfying insurance and building-code requirements common in California and other zone-rated jurisdictions. Lever Lock compatibility lets installers mount small-form-factor devices in otherwise unused rack units without adapter hardware. Four heavy-duty casters and four leveling feet are included; the casters allow positioning under load, and the feet transfer weight to the floor once the cabinet is in place. Raised-floor riser bases (sold separately) integrate the SNE30F-4248 directly into floor-tile openings for under-floor cabling. Cable management brackets, PDU mounting channels, and ventilation panels from the SNE accessory catalog attach without drilling. The frame ships fully assembled and requires only accessory installation on-site, reducing labor time compared to field-assembled alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SNE30F-4248 include doors or side panels?

No. The SNE30F-4248 is a frame-only product. Doors, side panels, and top covers are ordered separately from the SNE30 accessory catalog, allowing you to configure passive, vented, or solid panels to match thermal and security requirements.

What rail type is included?

Two pairs of adjustable 10-32 threaded rack rails are included. If your equipment requires cage-nut mounting, see the SNE30F-CN-4248, which ships with cage-nut rails in the same 42U×48" footprint.

Is this frame compatible with raised-floor installations?

Yes. The SNE30F-4248 accepts both standard and seismic riser bases (sold separately) for direct integration into raised-floor tile openings with under-floor cable routing.

Can multiple SNE30F-4248 frames be ganged together?

Yes. The SNE30 platform is designed for multi-bay deployments. Adjacent frames share side panels, and the structural design keeps the combined assembly square and stable under full equipment load.
