Middle Atlantic SNE30H-4242-A1 – 30"W 42U 42"D Hybrid Security Network Enclosure

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30H-4242-A1 is a 30" wide, 42U, 42" deep hybrid security network enclosure for commercial installations that combine analog AV components and digital IT equipment in the same rack. As part of the SNE Series of pre-configured enclosures, it arrives with active thermal management, dual mounting systems, and cable management hardware factory-installed, which shortens rack integration time for AV installers. UL listing and seismic certification allow it to be specified for government, institutional, and enterprise projects with compliance requirements.

Product Description

The SNE30H-4242-A1 is built around the reality of modern AV integration: signal processing, amplification, switching, and compute increasingly live in one rack. Two pairs of adjustable 10-32 tapped rackrail accommodate traditional AV gear, while the included four-space cage-nut adaptor pair mounts network switches and servers that require cage-nut hardware. The 30" wide footprint provides generous vertical channel space beside the rackrail for power distribution units, cable bundles, and accessory mounting.

Thermal management is pre-configured for top active ventilation. The included 660 CFM fan top uses a proportional thermostatic controller that ramps fan speed with heat load, keeping noise down in occupied spaces while protecting equipment during peak operation. A 70% open front door and solid top define a consistent front-to-top airflow path, and the split flush-mount locking side panels secure the enclosure while remaining easy to remove for service.

For accessory integration, 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 small components. A 6" wide vertical wire grid lace strip keeps cable runs dressed. Four casters support repositioning during commercial deployment, and four leveling feet stabilize the final installation.
