Middle Atlantic SNE30F-CN-4548 – SNE30 45U 48"D Frame with Cage-Nut Rails

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30F-CN-4548 is a 45U, 48-inch deep open frame enclosure with cage-nut rails, providing the structural foundation of the SNE30 enclosure system without side panels or doors. Designed for data center architects, IT managers, and AV integrators who require maximum configurability, this frame-only unit accepts standard cage-nut hardware across its full 45U height at 48 inches of usable depth. The F-CN designation indicates frame-only construction with cage-nut rail compatibility, making it appropriate for custom panel configurations, high-airflow open-rack deployments, and infrastructure buildouts where panels are added selectively.

Product Description

The SNE30F-CN-4548 delivers the SNE30 structural frame at 45U height and 48-inch depth with cage-nut rails installed, without the side panels, front doors, or rear panels included on fully enclosed D-series or N-series models. This frame-only configuration gives system designers complete flexibility to specify panels, doors, blanking plates, and accessories based on the precise requirements of the installation. Cage-nut rails are the industry standard for data center and IT infrastructure, accepting M6 cage nuts and the corresponding cage-nut fasteners used by most rackmount server, networking, and AV equipment. The 48-inch depth accommodates the deepest rackmount servers, storage arrays, patch management systems, and AV signal processing gear. The welded steel frame provides the same structural platform as fully enclosed SNE30 models, supporting equivalent equipment load ratings. Side panel slots and door attachment points are present for future addition of enclosure panels. The SNE30F-CN-4548 is the appropriate starting point for integrators building customized rack enclosures, open-frame data center infrastructure, and high-airflow IT deployments where pre-installed panels would be removed regardless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is included with the SNE30F-CN-4548?

A: The frame with cage-nut rails is included. Side panels, front doors, rear panels, and blanking plates are not included and must be ordered separately as accessories.

Q: What size cage nuts does this frame accept?

A: The CN cage-nut rails accept standard M6 cage nuts, which are compatible with the majority of rackmount server, networking, and AV equipment from all major manufacturers.

Q: Can I add side panels and doors to this frame later?

A: Yes. The SNE30F-CN-4548 frame includes attachment points for SNE30 side panels and door options. Order the appropriate SNE30 panel accessories from creationnetworks.net when your installation requirements are finalized.

Q: How does this compare to SNE30 D-series and N-series models?

A: The F-CN frame-only model provides the same structural platform as D-series (enclosed digital) and N-series (open network) models but ships without panels or doors. It is the base configuration for fully custom enclosure builds.

Q: Is this enclosure appropriate for a hot/cold aisle data center layout?

A: The open frame design and 48-inch depth make the SNE30F-CN-4548 well suited for hot/cold aisle data center deployments. The unrestricted airflow path is compatible with directed airflow containment systems.

Q: Where can I order this frame?

A: The SNE30F-CN-4548 is available at creationnetworks.net.
