Middle Atlantic SNE30N-4542-LRD – 30"W 45U 42"D Network Enclosure LRD

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30N-4542-LRD is a 30-inch wide, 45U, 42-inch deep network enclosure with a Lever Release Door, designed for IT infrastructure and AV distribution systems requiring high equipment density and fast service access. The N-series open-frame design promotes front-to-back airflow for active networking gear including switches, routers, and patch panels in enterprise wiring closets and data center environments. With a 42-inch depth, this enclosure accommodates deep rackmount equipment that exceeds the capacity of shallower network cabinets.

Product Description

The SNE30N-4542-LRD provides 45U of rack space in a 30-inch wide by 42-inch deep N-series network enclosure with a Lever Release Door mechanism on the front. The added 42-inch depth over shallower SNE network models allows this enclosure to house deep switches, fiber aggregation units, rackmount servers, and cable management accessories without front or rear depth conflicts. The Lever Release Door allows one-hand access to the front of the rack during active servicing, which reduces technician time in dense wiring closet environments. The open N-series frame design provides unobstructed airflow paths appropriate for heat-generating active networking equipment. Adjustable EIA-310 rails accept standard 19-inch equipment across the full 45U height. Side panels are removable for gang installation with adjacent SNE enclosures or for lateral service access in tight equipment rooms. Integrated cable management channels on the interior sides route horizontal and vertical cabling without additional accessories. The SNE30N-4542-LRD is an appropriate choice for enterprise IT managers, data center architects, and AV integrators deploying high-density network and AV infrastructure in environments where both depth and serviceability are requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the SNE30N-4542-LRD differ from the SNE30N-4536-LRD?

A: The primary difference is depth. The SNE30N-4542-LRD is 42 inches deep versus 36 inches for the SNE30N-4536-LRD. The additional 6 inches of depth accommodates deeper switching gear and cable management configurations that do not fit in shallower models.

Q: Is the Lever Release Door lockable?

A: Yes. Middle Atlantic LRD doors include a locking mechanism to secure the enclosure contents. Consult the product documentation for key cylinder specifications.

Q: Can this enclosure be used in a two-post or four-post rail configuration?

A: The SNE30N-4542-LRD uses adjustable EIA-310 rails that can be configured for various mounting depth positions. Four-post mounting is standard. Consult Middle Atlantic documentation for two-post adapter compatibility.

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity of this enclosure?

A: Refer to the Middle Atlantic SNE30N-4542-LRD product documentation for rated load capacity. Middle Atlantic SNE enclosures are engineered for heavy switching and server equipment loads.

Q: Can side panels be ordered separately if damaged?

A: Yes. Middle Atlantic offers replacement and optional side panels for SNE enclosures. Contact creationnetworks.net for parts availability.

Q: Where can I order this enclosure?

A: The SNE30N-4542-LRD is available at creationnetworks.net.
