Middle Atlantic AXS-40 20"DP AX-S,40 SPACE

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-40 is a 40-space, 20-inch deep compact AV rack from the AX-S series, offering substantial rack capacity in a shallow depth profile suited to constrained installations. The all-welded steel frame ships fully assembled and accepts standard 19-inch EIA-310 rackmount equipment immediately. This rack is designed for AV integrators and IT managers who need maximum usable rack space within a 20-inch depth envelope. The AXS-40 is a high-value choice for complex AV and IT system builds in equipment rooms, closets, and alcoves that cannot accommodate deeper racks.

Product Description

With 40 rack spaces at a 20-inch nominal depth, the AXS-40 provides one of the highest capacity options in the Middle Atlantic AX-S compact rack series. The all-welded steel construction delivers structural rigidity for heavy equipment loads without requiring field assembly. Factory-installed threaded 10-32 rails run the full 40U height and accept rackmount screws from virtually all 19-inch equipment manufacturers. The open-frame design allows passive airflow across all mounted equipment, which is critical in high-density rack builds with multiple active components. Rear cable access is completely unobstructed, making structured cabling, patching, and power management straightforward for installation teams. Rack spaces are numbered sequentially for accurate as-built documentation. The black powder coat exterior finish provides corrosion resistance and a uniform professional appearance. Middle Atlantic accessories including vented blanks, horizontal cable managers, power strips, and shelves integrate directly with the AXS-40.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AXS-40 compare to a standard 40U rack?

The AXS-40 offers the same 40U capacity as a standard rack but in a 20-inch depth instead of the typical 24 inches or more, making it the right choice when depth clearance is the primary constraint.

Can the AXS-40 support server-class equipment?

The AXS-40 is optimized for AV and light IT equipment. For deep 1U or 2U servers that require more than 20 inches of depth, verify equipment dimensions against the available rail-to-rail depth before specifying this rack.
