Middle Atlantic AXS-22-26 – 22SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-22-26 is a 22-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack suited for AV integrators and IT managers deploying equipment in depth-constrained commercial spaces. With a 26-inch deep rack mount profile, this floor-standing unit accommodates AV processors, patch panels, networking gear, and amplifiers without the footprint of a full-depth cabinet. The AXS-22-26 is part of Middle Atlantic's established AX-S platform, widely used in wiring closet rack and commercial AV environments. Its 22U capacity offers a practical middle ground for installations that outgrow 20U but cannot accommodate taller enclosures.

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic AXS-22-26 delivers 22 rack spaces within a 26-inch deep enclosure, a combination that serves AV integrators working in locations where full-depth racks are simply not viable. Standard back-of-house AV rooms, IT closets, and built-in equipment alcoves frequently impose depth limits of 24 to 28 inches, making the AXS-22-26 a natural fit for AV rack 26 inch depth requirements in these environments. The 10-32 tapped rail system ensures compatibility across all major AV and IT rackmount equipment, from DSP units to unmanaged switches and UPS systems. Floor-standing installation eliminates the need for structural wall modifications, keeping installation costs low and installation time short. Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade construction means this rack is built for permanent deployment in environments that demand long-term reliability, including corporate offices, educational institutions, government facilities, and hospitality back-of-house areas. The AX-S series design allows for integration with Middle Atlantic's full range of accessories, including blanking panels, cable managers, and horizontal lacing bars. For rackmount commercial AV projects where depth is the governing constraint and 22U of capacity is required, the AXS-22-26 is a proven, readily available solution.
