Middle Atlantic AXS-20-26 – 20SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-20-26 is a 20-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack built for AV integrators and IT managers who need professional equipment housing in depth-restricted installations. As a 26-inch deep rack mount solution, it fits neatly in wiring closets, equipment alcoves, and back-of-house AV rooms while offering 20U of rackmount capacity. The AXS-20-26 supports standard AV processors, patch panels, and networking gear within its compact rack integrator footprint. It is part of Middle Atlantic's proven AX-S series designed for commercial AV and IT environments.

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic AXS-20-26 is engineered for commercial AV installations where rack depth must be minimized without compromising on space count. At 26 inches of usable depth, this unit accepts standard AV processors, receivers, and structured cabling equipment that typically require at least 20 to 24 inches of clearance. The 20-space configuration provides meaningful capacity for mid-size AV systems, supporting amplifiers, DSPs, network switches, and patch panels in a single floor-standing enclosure. 10-32 tapped rails ensure compatibility across brands and mounting standards used in professional rackmount commercial AV deployments. The floor-standing design eliminates the need for wall anchoring, simplifying installation in finished interiors such as corporate offices, classrooms, and hospitality back-of-house areas. Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade build quality means the AXS-20-26 is suitable for permanent installations that require long-term reliability. Cable management and accessory compatibility with the broader Middle Atlantic ecosystem allows integrators to build clean, maintainable rack builds. For AV rack 26 inch depth projects requiring a step up from 18U without a significant footprint increase, the AXS-20-26 is a practical and widely deployed choice.
