Middle Atlantic SNE30H-4236-A2 – 30"W 42U 36"D Hybrid Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30H-4236-A2 is a 30" wide, 42U, 36" deep hybrid security network enclosure for commercial installations with dense, high-heat mixes of analog and digital equipment. Unlike the fan-top A1 configuration, this A2 variant is configured for rear active ventilation with a 1,760 CFM split fan rear door, giving it substantially higher airflow capacity for heavily loaded racks. As an SNE Series pre-configured enclosure, it ships with dual mounting systems and cable management hardware installed, and it is UL listed and seismic certified for compliance-driven projects.

Product Description

The SNE30H-4236-A2 targets installations where network switches, servers, amplifiers, and signal processing share one rack and generate significant heat. Two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail accommodate conventional AV components, while the included four-space cage-nut adaptor pair mounts IT equipment that requires cage-nut hardware. The 30" wide frame leaves dedicated vertical channels beside the rackrail for power distribution, cable bundles, and accessory mounting.

Thermal management is the defining feature of this configuration. The enclosure is configured for rear active ventilation and includes a 1,760 CFM split fan rear door fitted with eight 6" fans, expandable for additional cooling capacity. Air enters through the 70% open front door, moves across installed equipment, and exhausts through the rear fan door, while the solid top keeps the airflow path defined. This arrangement suits dense hybrid racks in equipment rooms where a fan-top configuration would not move enough air.

Split flush-mount locking side panels secure the enclosure contents and remove quickly for service access. The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and includes two vertical 10" wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates for tool-free mounting of power strips and accessories, plus a 6" wide vertical wire grid lace strip for dressing vertical cable runs. Four casters simplify positioning during rack integration and four leveling feet provide a stable permanent installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the A2 configuration differ from the A1 fan-top models?
A: The A2 is configured for rear active ventilation with a 1,760 CFM split fan rear door, while A1 models use a 660 CFM fan top. The A2 is the better fit for densely loaded hybrid racks that need higher airflow.

Q: Can the cooling capacity be increased later?
A: Yes. The split fan rear door ships with eight 6" fans and is expandable, so additional fans can be added as equipment heat load grows.

Q: What equipment mix does this enclosure support?
A: It is a hybrid enclosure for analog and digital systems. Two pairs of 10-32 tapped adjustable rackrail mount AV gear, and the included four-space cage-nut adaptor pair mounts switches, servers, and other cage-nut equipment.

Q: Is the SNE30H-4236-A2 suitable for seismic-rated projects?
A: Yes. The enclosure is UL listed and seismic certified, which supports specification in government and institutional installations with seismic requirements.

Q: How are power strips and accessories mounted?
A: The enclosure is Lever Lock compatible and includes two vertical 10" wide Lever Lock accessory mounting plates for tool-free accessory installation along the interior.

Q: What warranty and support are available?
