Middle Atlantic AXS-20 20"DP AX-S,20 SPACE

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-20 is a 20-space, 20-inch deep pull-out AV rack engineered for flush wall and cabinet installations where rear access is essential. The patented slide-out mechanism lets technicians roll entire equipment bays forward for service without disconnecting cabling, significantly reducing downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration.

Product Description

Designed for AV integrators who need maximum rack density in minimum wall depth, the AXS-20 combines a robust welded-steel enclosure with an interlocking corner-joint system that delivers exceptional rigidity without requiring specialized tools. The removable rack frame supports off-site pre-wiring and equipment integration before the unit ships to site, compressing installation schedules. Articulating cable carriers route signal and power cables cleanly through the full range of drawer travel on non-rotating models, eliminating cable stress and maintaining bend-radius compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an AXS rack and a standard fixed rack?

The AXS series uses a patented pull-out drawer mechanism, allowing the entire rack to slide forward on service tracks. This provides full rear access to equipment connections without removing any gear, which is critical in wall or cabinet installations where rear access is otherwise impossible.

Are service tracks included with the AXS-20?

No. Service tracks and service stands are sold separately. Contact Creation Networks to identify the correct service track model for your installation depth and load requirements.

Can the rack frame be pre-wired off-site?

Yes. The removable rack frame is specifically designed to be loaded and wired at a staging facility, then transported to site and inserted into the enclosure. This reduces on-site installation time considerably.

Is the AXS-20 suitable for rotating or turntable installations?

Articulating cable carriers are available on non-rotating models only. For rotating or turntable configurations, consult the Middle Atlantic product guide or contact Creation Networks for the appropriate accessory set.
