Product SKU: 02528-001
Product Overview
For installers mounting an AXIS S3016 Recorder or AXIS S4000 Rack Recorder into a deeper server rack, the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions provide the additional reach needed to secure the unit properly. Standard rack rails suit post-to-post depths between 376mm and 499mm, but when the front-to-rear post distance extends beyond that range, up to 689mm, these genuine AXIS extensions bridge the gap. Featuring a straightforward design intended for professional rack installations, the TS3901 ensures the recorder is supported from both the front and rear posts rather than relying on a flat shelf or improvised fixings. This makes the accessory relevant for deeper communications cabinets, enterprise security rooms, and commercial CCTV rack builds where equipment density often pushes cabinet depth beyond standard dimensions. Part number 02528-001, the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions are a purpose-built addition to any deep-rack recorder deployment.
Key Capabilities
Extended Rack Depth Support
Supports post-to-post rack depths between 499mm and 689mm, covering deeper server and communications cabinets where the standard AXIS rail kit cannot reach the rear mounting posts.
Genuine AXIS Accessory
Manufactured and listed by AXIS as a compatible extension for the S3016 and S4000 rack recorders, ensuring fit and compatibility without the compromises associated with third-party alternatives.
Front and Rear Post Support
Designed to allow the recorder to be properly supported by both the front and rear rack posts, providing a stable, professional mount rather than relying on a shelf or single-point fixing.
Clean Rack Layout
Rail-mounted installation keeps the recorder properly aligned within the rack, supporting a tidy equipment layout alongside switches, patch panels, and UPS units in professional security and network environments.
Best For
- Deep Rack Cabinets: Required when the post-to-post distance inside the cabinet falls between 499mm and 689mm, which is common in larger commercial and enterprise-grade server racks.
- AXIS S3016 and S4000 Installations: Specifically listed by AXIS as compatible with these two recorder models, making the TS3901 the correct extension choice for these units in deep rack environments.
- Professional CCTV System Builds: Suited to integrators and installers completing commercial, healthcare, education, or enterprise security projects where rack-mounted NVR deployment is part of the design.
Why Choose the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions
The AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions address a specific and common installation challenge: deploying the AXIS S3016 Recorder or AXIS S4000 Rack Recorder into a server cabinet that is deeper than the standard rail kit accommodates. Rather than working around the problem with a rack shelf, which does not provide the same level of physical support or rack alignment, the TS3901 uses the recorder’s designed mounting points to achieve a proper two-post supported installation. The rack depth range of 499mm to 689mm covers a wide variety of commercial cabinets commonly found in security control rooms, server rooms, and comms spaces across enterprise and institutional environments. As a genuine AXIS accessory with part number 02528-001, compatibility with the listed recorder models is confirmed by the manufacturer. Available at Security Wholesalers, the TS3901 is a practical, low-cost addition to any deep-rack AXIS recorder deployment.
Buyer Decision Tips
Measure Before Ordering: Before purchasing the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions, measure the post-to-post distance inside your rack by taking the distance between the outside-facing surfaces of the front and rear rack posts. If that measurement falls between 376mm and 499mm, the standard AXIS rails are sufficient and extensions are not required. Only order the TS3901 if the distance is between 499mm and 689mm.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Security Rooms
Larger enterprise environments often use deep-format server racks. The TS3901 covers post-to-post depths up to 689mm, accommodating the cabinet sizes common in these installations.
Commercial CCTV Rack Builds
When deploying an AXIS S3016 Recorder in a commercial security cabinet alongside other network hardware, the TS3901 ensures proper rail-mounted support where cabinet depth exceeds the standard range.
Healthcare and Education Facilities
These sectors frequently use deep comms cabinets to house mixed IT and security equipment. The TS3901 provides a clean, supported recorder installation in those environments.
Network Video Recorder Upgrades
Projects retrofitting an AXIS S4000 Rack Recorder into an existing deep cabinet can use the TS3901 to achieve a proper rack-mounted fit without replacing the entire cabinet or using an unsupported shelf.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your rack has a post-to-post depth between 499mm and 689mm and you are installing an AXIS S3016 Recorder or AXIS S4000 Rack Recorder that requires proper rail support across the full cabinet depth.
- Choose a different model if: Your rack post-to-post distance is between 376mm and 499mm, in which case the standard AXIS rail kit is sufficient and these extensions are not required. If your rack depth exceeds 689mm, the TS3901 does not cover that range and an alternative mounting approach would be needed.
FAQs
- What does the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions kit do?
The TS3901 extends the mounting range of compatible AXIS rack recorders so they can be installed in deeper server cabinets. Without these extensions, the standard rails only reach rear rack posts at a post-to-post distance of up to 499mm. The TS3901 covers the range from 499mm to 689mm.
- How do I know if I need the AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions?
Measure the distance between the outside-facing surfaces of your rack’s front and rear posts. If that distance is between 499mm and 689mm, you need the TS3901. If it falls between 376mm and 499mm, the standard AXIS rails are sufficient and no extensions are required.
- Which AXIS recorders are compatible with the TS3901?
AXIS lists the AXIS S3016 Recorder and the AXIS S4000 Rack Recorder as compatible products for the TS3901 Rail Extensions. Always confirm compatibility for your specific recorder model before purchasing.
- Can I use a rack shelf instead of the TS3901 Rail Extensions?
A rack shelf can physically hold a recorder, but it does not provide the same level of support or cable management as a proper rail-mounted installation. Rail mounting secures the unit at both the front and rear posts, which is the installation method the recorder is designed for. For professional deployments, rail mounting is the preferred approach.
- Is the AXIS TS3901 a genuine AXIS product?
Yes. The AXIS TS3901 Rail Extensions are a genuine AXIS Communications accessory with part number 02528-001, listed by AXIS for use with compatible rack recorders. The part is part of the Security Wholesalers range of AXIS accessories.
- Does the TS3901 work with racks deeper than 689mm?
No. The TS3901 Rail Extensions are specified for rack post-to-post distances up to 689mm. If your cabinet depth exceeds that measurement, these extensions do not cover that range and a different mounting solution would be required.
