Middle Atlantic AXS-IR-3832-26 – AXS In-Rack 38SP 32"D 26"W

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic AXS-IR-3832-26 is an AXS integrated in-rack system providing 38 rack spaces at 32-inch mounting depth and 26-inch interior width, designed for AV and IT installations where available rack footprint is limited by architectural or spatial constraints. This compact AXS in-rack enclosure suits tight equipment closets, back-of-wall installations, and equipment alcoves where standard-width racks cannot be accommodated. AV integrators and system designers specifying narrow-width rack systems for high-density constrained environments will find the AXS-IR-3832-26 a reliable fit when a full 41-space model exceeds the height allowance of the installation.

Product Description

The AXS-IR-3832-26 delivers 38 usable rack spaces within a 32-inch depth, 26-inch interior width chassis that fits into architectural cavities and equipment spaces too narrow for standard rackmount enclosures. Like the 41-space AXS-IR-4132-26, the AXS integrated construction includes pre-configured structural elements that reduce field assembly requirements and simplify installation. The 32-inch mounting depth is appropriate for most AV processors, network switches, routers, and signal distribution equipment used in commercial and residential integration projects. Heavy-gauge steel construction maintains frame rigidity under a full equipment load without rail flex or chassis deformation. Standard EIA 19-inch mounting rail spacing provides universal compatibility with all rackmount equipment manufacturers. The 38-space height is suitable for mid-size AV system installations where the full 41-space model would exceed the vertical space available, such as in built-in wall sections with defined height limits. The narrow 26-inch width enables use in residential built-in cabinetry, commercial wall recesses, and hospitality equipment alcoves. Available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the AXS-IR-3832-26 and AXS-IR-4132-26?

Both models share the same 32-inch depth and 26-inch interior width. The AXS-IR-3832-26 provides 38 rack spaces versus 41 in the AXS-IR-4132-26, making it appropriate when the installation has a lower height limit.

Can this rack fit in a residential built-in cabinet?

Yes. The 26-inch interior width and compact dimensions make it a common choice for residential built-in AV equipment cabinets with defined dimensional constraints.

What types of equipment can be installed at 32-inch depth?

Most AV processors, network switches, routers, patch panels, amplifiers, and AV-over-IP infrastructure fit within the 32-inch mounting depth. Equipment exceeding approximately 28 inches in depth should be measured before specifying.

Is the AXS integrated construction field-configurable?

Yes. The AXS architecture is designed to allow depth adjustments to match specific equipment depth requirements within the rack's dimensional range.

Is this rack compatible with standard 19-inch equipment?

Yes. EIA 19-inch standard rail spacing provides compatibility with all standard rackmount equipment manufacturers.

Where can I purchase the AXS-IR-3832-26?

It is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.

What installation environments is this rack best suited for?

The AXS-IR-3832-26 is best suited for installations with both height and width constraints, such as residential built-in cabinets, commercial wall recesses, and hospitality AV equipment alcoves.
