Middle Atlantic AXSXR43 Rack Cabinet

The AX-SXR-43 by Middle Atlantic is a compact yet capable in-wall rack cabinet designed for tight spaces where traditional floor-standing racks won’t fit. This 4-post system pulls out from a recessed wall cavity and then turns to provide unprecedented access to both front and rear panels, making installation, servicing, and reconfiguration faster than ever. Built for professional AV, post-production, broadcast, and IT environments, the AXSXR43 blends robust hardware with smart cable management and modular mounting that keeps equipment organized while preserving airflow and ventilation. With its swing-out design, technicians can reach difficult-to-see connections without crawling behind gear, reducing downtime and improving system reliability. The AXSXR43 is compatible with Middle Atlantic’s AX S Series and other 19-inch gear, offering a scalable solution that grows with your installation. In short, it’s a space-saving rack cabinet that never compromises on accessibility, serviceability, or professional aesthetics.

how to install Middle Atlantic AXSXR43 Rack Cabinet

To install this in-wall pull-out rack cabinet, plan the wall opening carefully and ensure the wall cavity has adequate structural support for the anticipated gear weight and service activity. Begin by marking mounting points and installing any required backers or support rails inside the wall, following local codes and the installer guidelines. Secure the frame or mounting rails, then slide the cabinet into the opening and lock it into position, verifying smooth operation of the pull-out and turning mechanisms. Route power, network, and AV cabling through built-in cable channels or management paths to minimize clutter and maintain proper airflow. Mount your 19-inch equipment onto the rails, tighten fasteners as recommended by the manufacturer, and perform a functional check to confirm all connections are solid and accessible during service. If you’re unsure about wall structure, electrical, or ventilation requirements, collaborate with a qualified AV installer to ensure compliance with safety standards and code requirements.
