Middle Atlantic AXS-25-26 – 25SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-25-26 is a 25-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack for AV integrators and IT managers deploying professional equipment in depth-restricted commercial and institutional spaces. With its 26-inch deep rack mount profile, the AXS-25-26 fits in wiring closets, equipment alcoves, and back-of-house AV rooms where a compact rack integrator solution is required. The 25U space count accommodates full AV system builds including processors, DSPs, amplifiers, network gear, and UPS in a single enclosure. Middle Atlantic's AX-S series is a commercially proven platform widely used across North American AV integration projects.

Product Description

The AXS-25-26 delivers 25 rack spaces within a 26-inch deep enclosure, giving AV integrators a shallow rack that handles complete system builds without the depth of a traditional AV cabinet. At 25U, this model supports rack layouts that include all core system layers: control processors, signal distribution, amplification, power protection, and patching. The 26" depth provides adequate clearance for standard AV processors and receivers, which commonly require 18 to 22 inches behind the front rails. 10-32 tapped rails ensure universal compatibility with professional AV and IT rackmount equipment across all major manufacturers. The floor-standing design is self-supporting and does not require wall modification, which simplifies installation in leased spaces, finished interiors, and facilities where structural work is not permitted. Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade construction standards support long-term reliability in education, corporate, government, and hospitality permanent installations. The AX-S platform's accessory ecosystem provides cable management, blanking panels, and lacing bars that integrate directly with the AXS-25-26 for a clean, professional finish. For floor standing shallow rack projects with an AV rack 26 inch depth requirement and a need for 25U, this model provides the right combination of capacity and footprint.
