Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic AXS-16 is a 16-space, 20-inch deep pull-out AV rack suited for flush wall and cabinet installations. Its patented slide-out mechanism allows technicians to access rear equipment connections without disconnecting cables or removing gear, reducing service time in finished spaces.
Product Description
The AXS-16 provides 16U of rack space within a 20-inch depth envelope, covering mid-range equipment loads in residential, commercial, and institutional AV installations. The interlocking corner joint system ensures the enclosure stays square under load, while the removable rack frame supports off-site pre-build workflows that compress field installation time. Articulating cable carriers on non-rotating models route cables safely through the pull-out travel range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why choose a 16U AXS over a standard fixed 16U rack?
- A fixed rack requires rear access via a separate door or panel removal. The AXS-16 slides the entire equipment load forward, giving a technician full front and rear access simultaneously—critical in tight wall openings.
- Are service tracks included?
- No. Service tracks and stands are sold separately. Contact Creation Networks to select the correct model.
- Is the AXS-16 suitable for audio amplifiers and DSP equipment?
- Yes, provided equipment weight is within the rated load capacity. Verify the weight of all gear against Middle Atlantic specifications before specifying. Contact Creation Networks for load documentation.
