Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight capacity of the AXS-41-26 in-wall system?
The AXS-41-26 supports up to 650 lbs of mounted equipment, distributed across its 41U of rack space.
Does this enclosure require a specific wall construction for installation?
The AXS series is designed for installation within standard stud-wall construction, but the wall must be framed to accommodate the 26-inch depth and support the loaded weight. A structural assessment is recommended before installation.

It includes integrated service tracks and articulating cable carriers that route and protect cables while maintaining accessibility for service and reconfiguration.
