Middle Atlantic AXS-42-26 26"DP AX-S,42 SPACE

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-42-26 is a 42-space, 26-inch-deep floor-standing AV rack from the AX-S Series, representing one of the most expansive single-rack configurations in the line. Forty-two rack spaces—equivalent to a full 7-foot rack—provide capacity for an entire AV or IT system build without overflow to a secondary enclosure. The 26-inch internal depth accommodates the widest range of full-depth professional equipment, from high-power amplifiers to enterprise network infrastructure.

Product Description

The AXS-42-26 is built on a welded steel frame with a black anodized finish, designed to handle fully populated 42U loads in permanent professional installations. The 26-inch internal depth provides clearance for large-format rack equipment including power amplifiers, enterprise UPS systems, deep network chassis, and signal processing hardware, without the use of depth extender rails. Front and rear 10-32 tapped rails at EIA-310 spacing are compatible with all standard rackmount equipment. The open side-panel design supports passive convection airflow across the full 42U height, a critical feature for thermally dense system builds. Top and bottom cable pass-throughs provide organized routing paths for power, audio, video, and data cabling without encumbering the front of the rack. Leveling feet are included for stable floor placement, and optional Middle Atlantic caster accessories enable temporary mobility during installation. Optional locking front and rear doors are available for deployments requiring access security. The full Middle Atlantic accessory catalog—including shelves, blank panels, and vented fillers—integrates directly with the AXS-42-26 frame. All assembly hardware is included, and the rack ships knocked down to minimize shipping costs. The AXS-42-26 is UL and ETL listed for professional North American use.
