Middle Atlantic AXS-27-26 – 27SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-27-26 is a 27-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack for AV integrators and IT managers who need substantial rack capacity within an AV rack 26 inch depth constraint. At 27U, this floor-standing enclosure is one of the larger models in the AX-S 26" series, accommodating complete AV system builds in wiring closets, back-of-house AV rooms, and equipment alcoves. The 26-inch deep rack mount profile fits in commercial spaces where full-depth cabinets cannot be placed while still providing clearance for standard AV and networking equipment. The AXS-27-26 is a commercially rated Middle Atlantic product built on the trusted AX-S platform.

Product Description

At 27 rack spaces, the AXS-27-26 provides AV integrators with generous capacity in a shallow 26-inch footprint that fits the depth restrictions common in commercial wiring closets, built-in cabinetry, and back-of-house AV installations. The 26" depth accommodates all standard AV processors, DSPs, commercial amplifiers, and network infrastructure equipment without requiring the 30 to 36-inch clearance of a full-depth server cabinet. The additional space above 24U and 25U models allows integrators to include spare rack units for future expansion, cable management accessories, or additional equipment that might otherwise require a second enclosure. 10-32 tapped rails ensure universal compatibility with the full range of professional AV and IT rackmount hardware. The floor-standing construction is self-supporting and appropriate for finished commercial spaces where wall modifications are not permitted or desired. Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade build quality supports long-term performance in permanent installations across education, corporate, hospitality, and government sectors. Accessory compatibility with the full Middle Atlantic ecosystem supports organized cable routing, blanking, and lacing in large rack builds. For compact rack integrator projects specifying 27U at 26" depth, the AXS-27-26 delivers the right combination of capacity and footprint without compromise.
