The Chief CMA345 Structural Ceiling Plate pairs a ceiling attachment with a flexible joint. A neoprene rubber element between the plate and the column connection absorbs shock and dampens vibration traveling from the building structure into the column, which helps keep a projected image steady when HVAC equipment, foot traffic or nearby machinery shake the ceiling. The plate is also offset from the mounting surface, so cables running inside the column can exit above a flat ceiling rather than hanging in view. Chief rates the CMA345 at 500 lbs and lists it as UL Listed. Overall size is 3.4 x 7.3 x 7.3 inches, and the black finish matches Chief column hardware. For heavier or more demanding vibration problems, Chief also offers the CMA347 and CMA348 in-line isolating couplers.
