Middle Atlantic AXS-23-26 – 23SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-23-26 is a 23-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack built for professional AV integrators and IT managers working in depth-limited commercial environments. The 26-inch deep rack mount design fits within standard wiring closet rack spaces, equipment alcoves, and back-of-house AV rooms where full-depth enclosures are impractical. With 23U of rackmount capacity, this model supports a comprehensive set of AV processors, DSPs, amplifiers, network gear, and patch equipment. The AXS-23-26 is a floor-standing, commercially rated Middle Atlantic product in the widely deployed AX-S series.

Product Description

Designed for the realities of commercial AV and IT installations, the Middle Atlantic AXS-23-26 provides 23 rack spaces within a 26-inch deep enclosure that fits where standard-depth racks cannot. At 26 inches, the AXS-23-26 clears most AV processors and structured cabling equipment with room to route cables cleanly behind the gear. The 23U space count is a useful size for integrators who need more capacity than a 20U shallow rack but are constrained by ceiling height or cabinetry that limits taller enclosures. 10-32 tapped rails provide universal compatibility with professional rackmount hardware across brands and categories. The floor-standing construction is self-supporting, making installation in finished commercial spaces straightforward without structural modifications. Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade build quality supports long-term permanent deployment in education, corporate, government, and hospitality environments. Integration with the broader Middle Atlantic accessory ecosystem enables organized cable management, blanking panel installation, and horizontal lacing. For compact rack integrator projects with an AV rack 26 inch depth requirement and a need for 23U, the AXS-23-26 delivers exactly what is required with no compromises on build quality.
