AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions
The AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions are genuine AXIS mounting accessories designed for deeper rack installations. They allow the AXIS S3016 Recorder to be mounted securely in server racks where the distance between the front and rear rack posts is greater than what the standard rail kit can support.
These rail extensions are intended for server racks with a post-to-post distance between 499mm and 689mm. This makes them useful for installations where the recorder is being mounted inside a deeper communications cabinet, server rack, security equipment cabinet, or enterprise rack environment.
Designed for Deep Server Racks
In many CCTV and network security installations, the recorder is mounted in a rack alongside switches, patch panels, UPS equipment and other network hardware. Standard rack rails may not always suit deeper racks, especially where the rear posts sit further back than normal. The AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions solve this by extending the mounting range for compatible AXIS recorders.
AXIS specifies that the standard rails can be used without extensions when the rack post-to-post distance is between 376mm and 499mm. If the distance is between 499mm and 689mm, the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions are required. The post-to-post measurement is taken between the outside-facing surfaces of the front and rear rack posts.
Compatible AXIS Products
The AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions are listed by AXIS as compatible with the following network video recorder products:
- AXIS S3016 Recorder
- AXIS S4000 Rack Recorder
These extensions are particularly relevant when installing an AXIS S3016 Recorder into a deeper rack cabinet where the original rails do not reach the rear mounting posts.
When Should You Use AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions?
You should consider the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions if your AXIS recorder is being installed into a deeper rack and the standard rails do not line up correctly with the rear posts. This is common in larger comms cabinets and server racks used in commercial, industrial, education, healthcare and enterprise security environments.
They are especially useful for neat, professional rack mounting where the recorder needs to be properly supported from both the front and rear of the rack rather than simply resting on a shelf.

Professional Rack Installation Accessory
For commercial CCTV systems, rack mounting is often preferred because it keeps the recorder protected, organised and serviceable. The AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions help ensure the recorder is installed properly in deeper racks, reducing the need for improvised mounting methods or unsupported equipment placement.
By using the correct AXIS rail extension accessory, installers can achieve a cleaner rack layout and better physical support for the recorder, particularly in installations where the rack depth exceeds the standard rail range.
