Middle Atlantic AXS-28-26 – 28SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-28-26 is a 28-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack for AV integrators and IT managers specifying high-capacity, depth-efficient enclosures for commercial installations. Its 26-inch deep rack mount profile fits in wiring closets, back-of-house AV rooms, and equipment alcoves while providing 28U of mounting space for comprehensive AV and IT system builds. The AXS-28-26 is a floor-standing unit from Middle Atlantic's proven AX-S series, built to commercial-grade standards for permanent professional deployments. The AX-S AV equipment rack platform is widely trusted in education, corporate, hospitality, and government installations across North America.

Product Description

The AXS-28-26 gives AV integrators 28 rack spaces within a 26-inch deep shallow rack, enabling full system builds that include control processors, DSPs, amplifiers, video distribution, network infrastructure, and UPS in a single enclosure. The 26" depth provides adequate clearance for all standard AV processors and commercial AV equipment, making it the right solution for AV rack 26 inch depth projects where capacity cannot be sacrificed. At 28U, this model provides buffer space beyond core system requirements, allowing one or two rack units for future expansion or additional cable management accessories without a second enclosure. 10-32 tapped rails support universal compatibility with all professional rackmount hardware. Floor-standing construction is self-supporting and does not require wall anchoring, which is critical in leased commercial spaces, finished hospitality back-of-house areas, and government facilities with structural restrictions. Middle Atlantic's commercial construction standards deliver long-term reliability in demanding permanent installations. The AX-S platform's accessory ecosystem integrates cable management, blanking panels, and lacing bars for organized, maintainable rack builds at the 28U scale. For floor standing shallow rack projects where the combination of 28U and 26" depth is specified, the AXS-28-26 is the purpose-built answer.
