Middle Atlantic AX-SXR-24 – 24SP 20" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AX-SXR-24 provides 24 rack spaces within a 20-inch-deep enclosure — two full vertical feet of rackmount capacity in a Middle Atlantic AX-SXR shallow rack that fits depth-restricted commercial spaces. This 24U, 20-inch deep rack mount is a natural specification for integrators building out large conference rooms, broadcast support rooms, and government AV facilities where space efficiency is required. The AX-SXR-24 brings full-size AV system capacity into a shallow AV equipment rack footprint.

Product Description

At 24 rack spaces and 20" of usable depth, the AX-SXR-24 is a high-capacity shallow rack for installations that cannot accommodate full-depth enclosures but cannot afford to sacrifice mounting capacity. The Side-X-Rail design provides side access to the 10-32 tapped rails, which is valuable in government facilities, broadcast support rooms, and other environments where racks are built into furniture or mounted in enclosed bays. All 24 rail positions are factory-tapped to 10-32, eliminating cage nut hardware from the installation workflow entirely. The commercial-grade steel structure handles the weight of a fully populated 24U system, including high-current power conditioners and large format video processing equipment. AV integrators who specify a shallow AV equipment rack for large-venue installs will find that the 24U capacity matches well with major AV system design templates. The AX-SXR-24 is compatible with Middle Atlantic's full AX accessory catalog, and the consistent specification across the AX-SXR family means that blanks, power strips, and cable managers ordered for other AX-SXR sizes will also fit this unit.
