Middle Atlantic SNE Series 42RU Security Network Rack - 36in Depth, 24in Width Floor Standing Cabinet

The SNE24H-4236-A1 Hybrid Pre-Configured enclosure is a versatile floor-standing cabinet designed to support a seamless mix of analog and digital equipment. Built for professional environments where space, organization, and future expansion matter, this 42U security network rack provides a robust housing solution with thoughtful features that streamline deployment, maintenance, and scalability. With a compact 24" width and a deep 36" footprint, it delivers ample rack space without overpowering your room or data center floor. Whether you’re assembling a broadcast rack, an enterprise AV closet, or a technical edge cabinet, this model combines flexibility and reliability to simplify cable management, airflow, and serviceability while accommodating evolving equipment ecosystems.

• Hybrid pre-configured enclosure for mixed equipment - The SNE24H-4236-A1 is crafted to accommodate a blend of analog and digital devices within a single cabinet. This approach reduces the number of separate housings required on-site, simplifies power distribution planning, and accelerates deployment timelines. Designed with modularity in mind, the enclosure supports servers, audio interfaces, networking gear, and control hardware in a unified footprint. By offering a hybrid configuration, Middle Atlantic helps customers optimize space, improve cable management, and maintain orderly equipment layouts that are easier to troubleshoot and upgrade over time.
• 42U of rack space in a 24" wide, 36" deep floor-standing cabinet - The 42U capacity provides ample room for expansion without sacrificing valuable floor space. The 24" width balances a compact footprint with generous side clearance for cable handling and airflow, while the 36" depth accommodates deeper equipment trays, power distribution units, and cable management panels. This combination is ideal for environments that require scalable rack density without frequent cabinet relocation. The floor-standing design also makes it straightforward to integrate into existing rooms or data-center rows, with accessible front and rear mounting for maintenance and upgrades.
• Two pairs of 10-32 tapped adjustable rack rails for flexible mounting - With two pairs of 10-32 tapped adjustable rack rails, the enclosure enables precise alignment of equipment across a range of heights. The adjustable rails support a broad spectrum of standard gear and allow reconfiguration as needs evolve. The dual-rail setup provides sturdy support for heavier devices while enabling secure, tool-free adjustments within the cabinet. This feature is especially valuable when mixing components from multiple vendors, ensuring compatibility without compromising alignment or accessibility.
• 4RU cage nut adaptor for cage-nut equipment - A unique 4RU cage nut adaptor is included to accommodate equipment that requires cage nuts. This adaptor streamlines installation of components that rely on cage-nut mounting, reducing setup time and ensuring a snug, secure fit. With cage-nut compatibility, you can deploy popular server, network, and AV devices that rely on this hardware standard, increasing versatility and reuse of existing gear without needing extra hardware or reworks.
• Stable, floor-standing frame designed for reliable performance - The SNE Series is built for dependable performance in professional environments. A solid floor-standing frame supports consistent airflow, minimizes vibration, and sustains operation under typical rack-load conditions. The combination of frame rigidity, rail compatibility, and accessory integration contributes to a durable enclosure that stands up to daily wear, equipment swaps, and routine maintenance. This stability translates into smoother cable pathways, easier front/back access for service tasks, and a clean overall rack layout that helps technicians work more efficiently.
