The Chief CMS1RU is a set of rack mount brackets that adapts the AV component shelf in Chief's 2' x 2' above-suspended-ceiling storage boxes to accept standard 19-inch, one-rack-unit equipment. Instead of setting a rack-ear switcher, amplifier or network switch loose on the tray, the brackets let the component be bolted in by its rack ears so it stays put above the tile. Installation is simple: the brackets assemble straight to the shelf supplied with the CMS492 or CMS492C. This keeps rack-format gear such as presentation switchers, DSPs, small amplifiers and PoE switches tidy and serviceable through the box, without needing a separate wall rack in the room. The brackets are finished in silver, and Chief lists them as TAA compliant. The storage box, shelf and AV equipment are sold separately. Check that the component fits the box's maximum equipment envelope of 7.61" x 19.25" x 20" (193 x 489 x 508 mm).
