The Chief CMS440N combines Chief's above-tile Speed-Connect suspended ceiling kit with an electrical outlet housing, giving the electrician a defined box location for the projector's power right at the mounting point. The bridge sits above the tile and clamps to the grid tracks, and the Speed-Connect plate takes a Chief column or projector mount through the tile so the tile is not loaded. It suits standard 2' x 2' and 2' x 4' grids, plus 600 x 600 mm and 600 x 1200 mm metric tile. Per Chief's listing, the kit includes a 10 ft safety cable, 20 ft strand wire, two outlet knockouts, four turnbuckles, wood eye bolts, concrete anchors and a chrome trim ring. Total capacity, including column, mount and projector, is 50 lbs (22.7 kg). The kit is UL Listed and listed by Chief as TAA compliant. The outlet housing is supplied without receptacles; the outlet device, wiring, column and mount are provided separately.
