Middle Atlantic 30WX45U Split VNT F/r DR - SNE30-CLVD-45

Middle Atlantic SNE30-CLVD-45 45U Split Vented Door for SNE Series Racks

Overview

The Middle Atlantic SNE30-CLVD-45 is a 45U split vented front/rear door purpose-built for the SNE Series 30-inch-wide rack enclosures. At 29.8" W x 81.3" H x 2.3" D, it provides a direct, factory-matched replacement or upgrade door — no adapter kits, no guesswork on fitment. If your SNE 30" rack needs improved airflow management or you're commissioning a new enclosure build, this is the door to specify.

The split-panel design means you can open the upper or lower half independently, which matters in live rack environments: swap out gear in the bottom half without exposing the entire cabinet. That's a real operational advantage in a running server room or security head-end where uptime is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• 45 RU capacity span: covers the full height of a 45U SNE enclosure — no partial-door patchwork, no airflow gap at top or bottom of the cabinet.
• Split vented door style: perforated or louvered ventilation panels promote passive airflow from front to rear, reducing thermal buildup in densely loaded racks without requiring active fan trays on the door itself.
• Split-panel operation: upper and lower halves swing independently, so you can service the bottom of the rack while the top remains closed and secured — practical in colocation, NOC, and physical security head-end environments.
• Precise dimensional fit (29.8" W x 81.3" H x 2.3" D): designed to the SNE 30" wide rack frame spec, so installation is bolt-in rather than a field-modification project.
• SNE Series compatibility: matches the hinge, latch, and panel geometry of the SNE line from Middle Atlantic — mixing door models across incompatible rack families is a common field error this eliminates.
• Commercial-grade construction: consistent with the rest of the rack enclosure line — this is not a cosmetic panel; it's a structural door intended for permanent installation in production environments.

Integration & Compatibility

The SNE30-CLVD-45 (often searched as SNE30 CLVD 45) is engineered exclusively for the SNE Series 30-inch-wide rack family. If you're running a different rack width — 24" or any non-SNE frame — this door will not fit. Verify your rack series and width before ordering. For integrators building out NVR head-ends or communications rooms with SNE enclosures, this door ships as a matched component and installs without modification. Pair it with compatible rack accessories like blanking panels and cable management to complete the enclosure build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rack series is the SNE30-CLVD-45 compatible with?

A: The SNE30-CLVD-45 is designed exclusively for the Middle Atlantic SNE Series 30-inch-wide rack enclosures. It will not fit SNE racks of a different width or other Middle Atlantic rack families.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the SNE30-CLVD-45?

A: The door measures 29.8 inches wide, 81.3 inches tall, and 2.3 inches deep.

Q: Can I open just part of the door without opening the whole panel?

A: Yes. The split vented design means the upper and lower halves operate independently, so you can open one section while the other remains closed — useful when servicing equipment in a live rack.

Q: Does the SNE30-CLVD-45 require any modification to install on an SNE rack?

A: No. It is factory-matched to the SNE Series 30" wide frame geometry, so installation is a direct bolt-in without field modification.

Q: What is the rack unit height this door covers?

A: The SNE30-CLVD-45 spans the full height of a 45U enclosure.

The SNE30-CLVD-45 is one of those components that looks simple on paper but prevents real field headaches. At 81.3 inches tall and spanning a full 45U frame, the split-panel vented door gives you access flexibility that a single-piece door simply cannot — I've seen integrators lose 20 minutes unbolting a single full door just to swap a bottom-shelf UPS while a head-end stays live. The split mechanism solves that entirely.

Technical Highlights:

• 81.3" H x 29.8" W footprint: matched to the SNE 30" wide frame spec — bolt-in installation, no shimming, no custom hardware required.
• Split vented panel: passive airflow through the vented surface helps manage thermals in a loaded 45U enclosure without adding fan hardware to the door itself.
• 2.3" door depth: shallow enough that it won't impose on front-clearance in tight IDF or head-end closets where every inch counts.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your SNE rack is the 30" wide variant before ordering — the SNE line ships in multiple widths and doors are not interchangeable across widths.
• The 45U door height means the enclosure itself must be a 45U SNE frame; installing this on a shorter rack will leave the door overhanging the frame bottom.

This door is the right specification for security integrators commissioning SNE-based head-end enclosures in access-controlled equipment rooms or NOC environments where live-rack serviceability and thermal management both matter.
