Middle Atlantic AXS-24-26 – 24SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-24-26 is a 24-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack designed for AV integrators and IT managers who need a 2U-per-foot, depth-efficient enclosure for commercial installations. Its 26-inch deep rack mount profile makes it a strong fit for wiring closet rack deployments, back-of-house AV rooms, and equipment alcoves where full-depth cabinets cannot be used. At 24U, the AXS-24-26 supports substantial AV and IT system builds including DSPs, amplifiers, network switches, UPS, and patch panels. It is a floor-standing, commercial-grade unit from Middle Atlantic's proven AX-S series.

Product Description

The AXS-24-26 is one of the most commonly specified models in the AX-S 26" series because 24U provides the capacity to build a complete, mid-to-large AV system within a shallow enclosure. For AV rack 26 inch depth projects, 24 spaces means integrators can house a full processor layer, a distribution layer, and a power and UPS tier without overflow. The 10-32 tapped rails are compatible with all professional rackmount AV and IT gear, eliminating the need for cage nuts or rail adapters in standard deployments. Floor-standing installation is self-supporting and does not require wall anchoring, which is a significant advantage in leased commercial spaces, finished hospitality back-of-house areas, and institutional facilities with strict wall penetration requirements. Middle Atlantic's construction standards ensure long-term reliability for permanent installations. The AX-S series is broadly deployed across North America in education, corporate AV, hospitality, and government sectors, making the AXS-24-26 a familiar and trusted platform for integrators who value consistency and part availability. Integration with Middle Atlantic's accessory ecosystem ensures clean cable management and professional rack presentation. For rackmount commercial AV builds where 24U and a 26" depth profile are specified, the AXS-24-26 is the direct solution.
