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

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-26-26 is a 26-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack engineered for AV integrators and IT managers who need high-capacity equipment housing within a compact rack integrator footprint. The 26-inch deep rack mount design accommodates AV processors, DSPs, network switches, amplifiers, and patch equipment in wiring closets, back-of-house AV rooms, and equipment alcoves where full-depth racks are not feasible. With 26U of capacity, the AXS-26-26 is among the larger models in the AX-S 26" series, making it well-suited for system-intensive commercial AV installations. It is a floor-standing, commercially rated Middle Atlantic product in the proven AX-S platform.

Product Description

The AXS-26-26 is specified when an installation requires maximum capacity within a 26-inch deep enclosure. At 26U, this rack accommodates full AV system builds: control processors, video distribution, DSP, amplification, network infrastructure, and power protection can all reside in a single AX-S shallow rack without overflow to additional enclosures. The 26-inch depth is sufficient for nearly all AV signal processors and commercial networking equipment while remaining deployable in the wiring closet rack environments and equipment alcoves that define many commercial AV projects. 10-32 tapped rails provide universal compatibility without the need for cage nuts in standard rack hardware. The floor-standing construction is self-supporting, appropriate for leased office spaces, finished hospitality back-of-house areas, and institutional facilities where wall penetration is restricted. Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade manufacturing ensures the AXS-26-26 delivers long-term reliability in permanent installations across corporate, education, government, and hospitality sectors. The AX-S accessory ecosystem provides cable management integration, blanking panels, and horizontal lacing bars that keep large 26U builds organized and maintainable. For floor standing shallow rack projects requiring a 26-inch depth and 26U capacity, the AXS-26-26 is the definitive AX-S solution.
