Middle Atlantic SNE-UVPB-4245-S Universal Vertical Power Bracket
The Middle Atlantic SNE-UVPB-4245-S is a rack-mount vertical power bracket designed for use with 42U to 45U SNE-series enclosures. At 74 inches tall and 3-wide in footprint, it positions a power strip vertically inside the rack column — keeping horizontal rack space available for active gear rather than surrendering U-slots to PDUs. If you're building out a surveillance NVR rack or a network equipment enclosure where every rack unit counts, routing power vertically is the right call.
Key Features
- 42–45 RU Compatibility: Sized specifically for Middle Atlantic SNE-series racks in the 42U–45U height range — not a universal fit for all rack brands. Confirm your enclosure matches the SNE series before ordering.
- 74-Inch Height: Spans the full interior height of a 42–45RU enclosure, so the supported power strip runs the length of the column and outlets remain reachable at any vertical position.
- 3-Wide Form Factor: The bracket occupies a 3-wide slot within the rack's vertical channel, which is the standard footprint for the SNE vertical power accessory rail system.
- 1.06-Inch Depth: Low-profile mounting keeps the bracket from intruding into the cable management channel or conflicting with rear-mounted equipment.
- Rack Mount Installation: Mounts directly to the SNE rack structure — no secondary hardware or adapter plates required when used with a compatible SNE enclosure.
- Black Finish: Matches standard SNE rack interior aesthetics; no color mismatch in mixed-equipment deployments.
Integration & Compatibility
The SNE-UVPB-4245-S (often searched as SNE UVPB 4245 S) is designed for the Middle Atlantic SNE rack series in rack accessories configurations. It supports a single power strip as the device type. Verify your SNE enclosure height (42U, 43U, 44U, or 45U) falls within the supported range before specifying this bracket. For other SNE rack heights, Middle Atlantic offers separate vertical power bracket variants sized accordingly — consult the Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure line for the correct model match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What rack series is the SNE-UVPB-4245-S compatible with?
A: The SNE-UVPB-4245-S is designed for Middle Atlantic SNE-series racks in the 42U to 45U height range. It is not confirmed compatible with non-SNE rack families.
Q: What device does this bracket support?
A: The bracket is designed to support a power strip, mounted vertically within the rack enclosure.
Q: How tall is the SNE-UVPB-4245-S?
A: The bracket is 74 inches tall, spanning the interior height of a 42–45RU SNE enclosure.
Q: Does the SNE-UVPB-4245-S require additional mounting hardware?
A: It is designed for rack mount installation within compatible SNE enclosures. No adapter plates are specified in the product data, but confirm with your enclosure documentation that no supplemental hardware is needed for your specific SNE configuration.
Q: What is the depth of the SNE-UVPB-4245-S?
A: The bracket depth is 1.06 inches, keeping a low profile within the rack's internal clearance envelope.
The SNE-UVPB-4245-S solves a real rack planning problem: when you're loading a 42–45RU SNE enclosure with NVRs, switches, and servers, giving up horizontal rack units to a horizontal PDU is a poor trade. At 74 inches tall and just 1.06 inches deep, this bracket routes a power strip vertically along the rack column — horizontal U-space stays allocated to active equipment where it belongs.
Technical Highlights:
- 74-Inch Span: Matches the interior column height of 42–45RU SNE enclosures exactly, so outlets distribute evenly from top to bottom of the rack rather than clustering at one elevation.
- 1.06-Inch Depth: Shallow enough to coexist with rear cable management channels in dense enclosures without pushing equipment forward or creating clearance conflicts.
- 3-Wide Footprint: Aligns with the SNE vertical accessory slot standard — no improvised mounting or field modification needed when used with a matching SNE rack.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your enclosure is specifically an SNE-series Middle Atlantic rack at 42U, 43U, 44U, or 45U height — this bracket is not a cross-series universal fit, and ordering the wrong height variant means a return.
- The supported device type is a power strip only; this bracket is not rated or sized for heavier vertical cable managers or blanking panel rails.
Best fit: a surveillance head-end rack or IT closet build using Middle Atlantic SNE enclosures in the 42–45RU range, where the integrator is specifying vertical power routing as part of a clean, serviceability-first rack layout.
