Middle Atlantic AXS-29 – 29SP 20" Compact AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-29 is a 29-space, 20"-deep floor-standing rack for AV integrators and IT managers who need near-full-height rack capacity in a shallow-depth chassis. At 29U, the AXS-29 provides enough space to house a comprehensive commercial AV system — multi-channel amplification, large DSP matrices, AV-over-IP switching, network infrastructure, and power distribution — within a footprint that fits most commercial wiring closets. The AXS-29 is the standard-tier product in Middle Atlantic's 20"-deep rack line, priced below the AX-SXR series while delivering equivalent usable depth and 10-32 tapped rail geometry. Creation Networks stocks and supports the full AXS line with expert pre-sales assistance.

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic AXS-29 rack provides 29 spaces of professional-grade mounting in a 20"-deep, floor-standing enclosure engineered for permanent commercial AV and IT installations. The 29U size allows integrators to specify a comprehensive equipment complement without requiring the physical size of a 30U or larger rack, while still providing substantially more capacity than the common 24U-range options. Front and rear 10-32 tapped rail pairs are factory-set at 20" of usable depth, ready to accept standard rackmount equipment without cage nuts or on-site rail adjustment. Steel construction throughout the chassis provides the rigidity and dimensional stability needed for reliable, long-term equipment mounting in demanding commercial environments. The AXS series is Middle Atlantic's standard 20"-deep rack tier, offered at a lower price than the AX-SXR generation while maintaining the same rail geometry and core structural quality. Floor-standing installation requires no wall anchors or special mounting hardware, making the AXS-29 straightforward to deploy in both new-construction and retrofit environments. All Middle Atlantic AXS accessories — cable management panels, blanks, power strips, lacing bars — are interchangeable across AXS sizes and can be bundled with the AXS-29 order through Creation Networks. For integrators who regularly build large, complex AV systems and need a dependable, cost-effective shallow rack to house them, the AXS-29 delivers the capacity and quality required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 29U a practical choice compared to stepping up to 30U?

For most integrators, 29U and 30U are functionally equivalent. The AXS-29 provides one less space but the same physical chassis depth, so the choice is typically based on which standard product size best matches your equipment list without excess empty space.

How does the AXS-29 differ from the AX-SXR series?

The AXS-29 is the standard-tier 20"-deep rack at a lower price. The AX-SXR is a newer generation at a higher price point. Both offer 20" usable depth and 10-32 tapped rails.

Can I mount heavy amplifiers in the AXS-29?

Yes. The AXS-29's steel construction is built to handle the weight of professional-grade power amplifiers. Consult the Middle Atlantic product data sheet for the specific weight rating, and contact Creation Networks for documentation.

Does the AXS-29 include a rear door or side panels?

Middle Atlantic offers optional rear and side accessories for AXS-series racks. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for available enclosure options and compatibility.
