The Chief CMS492CP2 drops into a 2' x 2' suspended ceiling grid in place of a standard tile and gives you a secure, ventilated enclosure for the AV equipment that would otherwise clutter a credenza or rack. Its column-drop provision lets a 1.5-inch NPT column pass through the box so a projector or display mount can hang directly below, with cables routed internally. A detachable dual-gang power housing carries a duplex outlet with surge suppression and multi-stage filtering, and it can be roughed in by the electrician before the box itself is installed. A drop-down carriage door gives service access from below, and the included shelf holds a media player, switcher or similar component. Chief's Speed Connect hardware is designed so one installer can hang the box. Chief rates the assembly at 100 lbs overall, with 50 lbs at the projector plate and 25 lbs per shelf location.
