Middle Atlantic AXS-31-26 – 31SP 26" Shallow AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-31-26 is a 31-space, 26-inch deep AX-S shallow rack for AV integrators and IT managers specifying high-capacity, depth-constrained enclosures for commercial AV installations. Its 26-inch deep rack mount profile accommodates standard AV processors, DSPs, amplifiers, networking gear, and patch equipment in wiring closets, back-of-house AV rooms, and equipment alcoves where deeper racks cannot be placed. With 31U of capacity, the AXS-31-26 is among the largest models in the AX-S 26" series, delivering a full-system enclosure in a compact rack integrator footprint. It is built to Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade standards and is part of the proven AX-S AV equipment rack platform.

Product Description

At 31 rack spaces, the AXS-31-26 provides AV integrators with substantial capacity within a 26-inch deep floor standing shallow rack, a combination that addresses the needs of large commercial AV builds in constrained spaces. The 31U space count supports multi-layer AV systems including control, signal processing, distribution, amplification, network infrastructure, and power protection in a single enclosure with room to spare for expansion and cable management accessories. The 26" usable depth provides adequate clearance for all standard commercial AV processors and receivers, which are the equipment most commonly requiring 18 to 24 inches behind the rails. 10-32 tapped rails ensure universal hardware compatibility across all major AV and IT rackmount manufacturers. The floor-standing design is self-supporting, eliminating the need for wall modifications in leased offices, finished hospitality back-of-house environments, and institutional facilities. Middle Atlantic's commercial build standards ensure long-term reliability for permanent installations in education, corporate, government, and hospitality sectors. The AX-S accessory ecosystem fully supports 31U builds with cable management, blanking panels, and horizontal lacing bars for clean, maintainable rack layouts. For rackmount commercial AV projects specifying 31U at AV rack 26 inch depth, the AXS-31-26 is the right specification.
