Middle Atlantic SNE24H-4236-A1 42U Hybrid Security Network Rack Enclosure
Overview
The Middle Atlantic SNE24H-4236-A1 is a 42U, 24-inch-wide, 36-inch-deep floor-standing enclosure from the SNE Series, purpose-built for hybrid deployments where analog and digital security equipment share the same cabinet. It is designed for integrators consolidating NVRs, DVRs, managed switches, patch panels, and analog matrix equipment into a single structured enclosure — common in migration-phase installs where legacy coax infrastructure coexists with new IP infrastructure. Cage nut mounting on both sides supports mixed rack ear widths without adapter kits. At 73.5 inches of usable height, this is a full-height production cabinet, not a wall unit.
Compatibility
The SNE24H-4236-A1 accepts any EIA-compliant 19-inch rackable equipment — including network video recorders, PoE managed switches, UPS units, and patch panels. The cage nut rail system on both sides accommodates standard 10-32 and M6 hardware used across Middle Atlantic accessories and third-party rack components. The 36-inch depth handles deeper 2U and 4U appliances (servers, NVRs, high-density PoE switches) that shallower 24-inch-deep cabinets cannot fit without extension rails. The A1-style hinged front door with lock is compatible with Middle Atlantic SNE Series door accessories and side-panel options within the same series family.
Installation Notes
The enclosure ships with casters, bringing overall height to 79.5 inches — account for ceiling clearance before specifying this in low-ceiling IDF rooms or finished basements. The rated 3000 lb weight capacity covers even densely populated builds, but floor load ratings at the install site should be confirmed independently before full population. Top-mounted active ventilation runs at 660 CFM with a proportional thermostatic controller — thermal management is handled without additional fan trays in most security network enclosure deployments, though high-wattage compute loads should be verified against the CFM rating. Powder-coated steel construction; indoor use only — no IP or NEMA environmental rating is specified for this enclosure, so do not deploy in unconditioned spaces exposed to moisture or dust ingress. Both side rails use cage nut style, so bring appropriate cage nut insertion tools and a torque screwdriver for final rail hardware.
