Middle Atlantic AXS-33 – 33SP 20" Compact AV Rack

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-33 is a 33-space, 20"-deep floor-standing rack built for AV integrators and IT managers who need a large-capacity shallow rack for the most demanding commercial system builds. At 33U, the AXS-33 can house a fully redundant, feature-rich AV system — multi-channel DSP matrices, multi-zone amplification, AV-over-IP switching, network infrastructure, UPS, and structured cabling infrastructure — all within a 20" depth that fits standard commercial equipment rooms and wiring closets. The AXS-33 is the standard-tier product in Middle Atlantic's 20"-deep line, priced below the AX-SXR generation while delivering the same 20" usable depth and 10-32 tapped rail standard. Creation Networks stocks and supports the full AXS series for integrators across all commercial verticals.

Product Description

The Middle Atlantic AXS-33 compact rack provides 33 spaces of 10-32 tapped rail mounting in a 20"-deep, floor-standing steel chassis engineered for professional-grade commercial AV and IT installations. The 33U configuration is one of the largest sizes in the standard-depth shallow rack category and is ideal for integrators whose projects require more capacity than a 30U or 32U can offer while still needing the 20" shallow footprint that fits most commercial equipment rooms. Factory-set front and rear rail pairs at 20" usable depth require no on-site assembly, allowing equipment installation to start on delivery day. Middle Atlantic's steel construction maintains the dimensional accuracy and structural rigidity required for reliable equipment mounting in a fully loaded 33U rack under continuous commercial use. The AXS series is Middle Atlantic's standard 20"-deep tier, offered at a price below the AX-SXR generation while maintaining the same rail geometry and production standards. Floor-standing design requires no wall anchors, and the 20" depth profile means the AXS-33 can be positioned in equipment rooms that have been designated for full-depth racks but with clearance benefits from the shallower chassis. All Middle Atlantic AXS accessories — blanks, cable management panels, power strips, and lacing bars — are compatible with the AXS-33. Creation Networks can bundle accessories and provide project-level procurement support for single or multi-rack AXS-33 deployments. For integrators building the largest and most complex commercial AV systems within a compact 20" footprint, the AXS-33 is the high-capacity choice in the standard AXS tier.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AXS-33 appropriate for head-end equipment rooms serving large facilities?

Yes. The 33U capacity accommodates the full range of equipment typically found in a large facility head-end — DSP, amplification, AV-over-IP, network switching, UPS, and signal routing — in a single 20"-deep chassis.

How does the AXS-33 compare to the AX-SXR series at 33 spaces?

The AXS-33 is the standard-tier 20"-deep rack at a lower price. The AX-SXR is a newer generation at a higher cost. Both offer 20" usable depth and 10-32 tapped rails.

Is the AXS-33 the largest rack in the AXS series?

The Middle Atlantic AXS series spans sizes from 15 to 42 spaces. The AXS-33 is a large but not the maximum configuration available. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for the full size range.

What is the installation crew requirement for the AXS-33?

A two-person crew is recommended for positioning and securing the AXS-33 chassis given its height and weight when fully equipped. Equipment mounting and cable management can typically proceed with one technician after the rack is in position.

Can Creation Networks provide a complete turnkey accessory package for the AXS-33?

Yes. Creation Networks can provide a complete accessory quote — including cable management, blanks, power distribution, and lacing bars — bundled with the AXS-33. Contact our team at creationnetworks.net to get started.
