Middle Atlantic AXS Series Rack MRK-4426AXS

The MRK-4426AXS from Middle Atlantic’s AXS Series represents a pinnacle of serviceable, space-conscious rack design. Engineered as a factory-assembled MRK enclosure, this model prioritizes quick access to rear equipment connections while preserving the integrity and organization of your installation. In environments where floor real estate is at a premium, the AXS design offers a rolling, bay-forward approach that makes maintenance faster and less disruptive, without compromising protection for sensitive electronics. Whether you’re outfitting a compact AV rack, a grant of IT hardware, or a multi-device audio-visual system, the MRK-4426AXS delivers the rugged reliability and flexible serviceability that professionals rely on. Expect streamlined installation, simplified cable management, and easy access to rear ports, all housed in a compact, purpose-built enclosure that aligns with industry standards and best practices for rack-mounted equipment.

• Roll-out bays that extend entire bays of equipment for fast service and installation flexibility, enabling technicians to work on rear connections without heavy lifting or full-deconstruction of the rack.
• A factory-assembled MRK enclosure that ensures precise fit, robust construction, and consistent performance, reducing on-site assembly time and installation risk.
• A patented AXS design optimized for space-limited environments, allowing bays to be placed where space constraints would otherwise limit rack density and accessibility.
• Enhanced rear-access organization that supports orderly cabling, improved airflow, and simplified maintenance routines, helping to protect equipment and extend component life.
• Broad compatibility with a wide range of rack-mount devices and depths, providing versatile deployment options across power, data, and AV ecosystems while preserving standard 19-inch rack compatibility.

Technical Details of MRK-4426AXS

• Model: MRK-4426AXS
• Series: AXS
• Enclosure: MRK factory-assembled system
• Key feature: Roll-out bays for service and installation flexibility
• Application: Ideal for environments requiring rear access to equipment connections

how to install MRK-4426AXS

• Step 1: Inspect the installation site to confirm the available footprint, floor level, and structural support for mounting an MRK enclosure, ensuring there is adequate clearance for roll-out operation and service access.
• Step 2: Plan cabling routes to ensure unobstructed rear access once the MRK-4426AXS is installed and the bays are rolled out as needed, coordinating power, data, and AV cables to minimize interference and maximize airflow.
• Step 3: With the enclosure in place, use appropriate rack-mount hardware to secure the MRK-4426AXS to a standard 19-inch rack frame, maintaining square corners, proper grounding, and compliance with local electrical and safety requirements.
• Step 4: Install equipment into the bays, paying attention to clearance, ventilation, and cable management to support reliable operation and serviceability; avoid overloading any single bay and respect manufacturer load guidelines.
• Step 5: Connect rear equipment cabling through the rear connections, then retract the bays to a closed position to verify fit and alignment, ensuring all cables are neatly organized and labeled for future maintenance.
• Step 6: Test the roll-out mechanism to ensure smooth operation without binding, and perform a full functional check of power, cooling, interconnectivity, and signal integrity to validate a ready-for-service configuration.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the primary advantage of the MRK-4426AXS in space-limited environments?

  A: The AXS design is optimized for compact spaces, allowing equipment bays to be placed where space is constrained while still providing full rear-access and roll-out service capability.

• Q: Can I access rear connections without removing equipment?

  A: Yes. The MRK-4426AXS features roll-out bays that bring equipment forward for service, reducing the need to reach deep into the rack while maintaining cable integrity.

• Q: Is the MRK-4426AXS a factory-assembled system?

  A: Yes. The MRK enclosure comes factory-assembled, which helps ensure precise tolerances, faster deployment, and reliable performance out of the box.

• Q: What kinds of equipment can fit in the bays?

  A: The MRK-4426AXS is designed to accommodate a wide range of rack-mount equipment within typical rack depth specifications, with compatibility dependent on individual unit depth and rail configurations.

• Q: How does the roll-out design impact cooling and cable management?

  A: Roll-out bays expose equipment for service while allowing engineers to manage airflow and cabling more efficiently, which can improve airflow paths and reduce strain on cables during maintenance.
