The Chief CMA101W is a 5-inch (127 mm) designer ceiling plate, the piece that ties a Chief ceiling-mount assembly to the building structure. It fastens to the structural ceiling above and provides the threaded connection point for a Chief extension column, which in turn carries a projector mount, display mount or other ceiling-hung AV device. The plate measures 5 x 5 inches with a 0.7-inch profile and is rated by Chief for 500 lbs (226.8 kg). Its designer styling gives a more finished appearance where the ceiling plate remains visible. It carries TAA, UL Listed certifications, and its white finish blends with white ceilings. This version is TAA compliant for government and federally funded projects. Choosing the right plate size lets the installer span joists or match the footprint of the ceiling finish, while keeping the column centered and secure. Only the ceiling plate is included; the column, mount and any adapters are purchased separately.
