Middle Atlantic AXS-IR-3827-20 – AXS In-Rack 38SP 27"D 20"W

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-IR-3827-20 is a 38-space, 27"-deep, 20"-wide integrated in-rack enclosure from the AXS series, designed for tight-space AV and IT deployments where a standard 41-space rack is more height than the installation requires. Like the 41SP variant, it provides a finished, factory-configured enclosure in a 20"-wide footprint for alcoves, closets, and under-counter locations that cannot accommodate a full-width rack. The AXS series is built for integrators who need a structurally complete, rack-ready solution without field fabrication.

Product Description

The AXS-IR-3827-20 delivers 38 rack spaces in a 27"-deep, 20"-wide welded steel enclosure — three spaces fewer than the AXS-IR-4127-20, which can matter in installations with strict vertical clearance limits. The 20" width allows placement in openings and alcoves that preclude a standard 24"-wide rack. Factory-installed 10-32 threaded front and rear rails accept standard rack-mount hardware without field drilling or assembly. Cable entry points at the top, bottom, and rear support clean cabling runs for both structured network cabling and power distribution. The open-frame side panels maintain airflow clearance, keeping the enclosure compatible with both passive ventilation and active cooling accessories. The factory-configured build reduces loose components and on-site integration time compared to a field-assembled rack. Available through Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between AXS-IR-3827-20 and AXS-IR-4127-20?

The primary difference is rack space count: 38SP vs 41SP. Both share the same 27"D x 20"W footprint. Choose the 38SP if your installation has a strict vertical height limit that the 41SP exceeds.

Will standard rack equipment fit in 27" depth?

Most 1U–4U AV and IT rack-mount equipment fits within 27" depth. Confirm your deepest component's specification before ordering.
