Middle Atlantic SNE30N-4536-LRD – 30"W 45U 36"D Network Enclosure LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30N-4536-LRD is a 30-inch wide, 45U, 36-inch deep network enclosure designed for IT infrastructure deployments requiring front-door access control. Featuring a Lever Release Door (LRD) for fast, one-hand access, this enclosure suits structured cabling, patch management, and active networking gear in enterprise and broadcast environments. Long-tail applications include high-density switch and router housing in wiring closets and edge data center buildouts.

Product Description

The SNE30N-4536-LRD provides 45U of usable rack space in a 30-inch wide by 36-inch deep footprint, optimized for network equipment that requires consistent airflow and organized cable routing. The N-series open-frame network design allows maximum front-to-back airflow for switches, routers, and patch panels without requiring supplemental fan trays in most deployments. The Lever Release Door mechanism allows a technician to open the front door with a single hand, reducing service time during high-pressure maintenance windows. The enclosure ships with adjustable rack rails, accepting EIA-310 standard 19-inch rack equipment. Side panels are removable for side-by-side installation or service access. The welded steel frame provides structural rigidity appropriate for heavy switching gear and dense patch field installations. Cable management provisions are integrated into the side channels, keeping horizontal and vertical runs organized without separate accessories. The SNE30N-4536-LRD is an appropriate choice for AV control rooms, enterprise wiring closets, broadcast facilities, and edge data center deployments where network equipment density and serviceability are primary concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does LRD mean on this enclosure?

A: LRD stands for Lever Release Door. It allows the front door to be opened with a single hand using a lever mechanism, which speeds up routine service and maintenance without requiring tools.

Q: Can the SNE30N-4536-LRD be ganged with other SNE enclosures?

A: Yes. Middle Atlantic SNE enclosures are designed for side-by-side installation. Side panels are removable to allow adjacent enclosures to be joined into a continuous rack run.

Q: Is this enclosure suitable for network switches that require active cooling?

A: The N-series open design provides unobstructed front-to-back airflow, which supports most enterprise switches. For high-heat deployments, supplemental fan trays can be added to the rack space.

Q: What rail standard does this enclosure use?

A: The SNE30N-4536-LRD uses EIA-310 standard 19-inch adjustable rack rails, compatible with the full range of standard network and AV equipment.

Q: Does this product ship assembled?

A: Middle Atlantic SNE enclosures are shipped partially assembled. Final rail adjustment and panel installation are performed on-site to accommodate the specific equipment configuration.

Q: Where can I order this enclosure?

A: The SNE30N-4536-LRD is available at creationnetworks.net.
