The Chief CMS492P2 is a 2' x 2' above-ceiling enclosure for keeping AV electronics out of sight while still within easy reach for service. It sits in a standard suspended ceiling grid in place of one tile, and a built-in AV tray with integrated ventilation holds components such as media players, receivers or switchers. Power is handled by a dual-gang housing fitted with a duplex receptacle featuring isolated ground plus surge suppression and multi-stage noise filtering. Because the power housing detaches, an electrician can rough it in on their own schedule and the AV team can attach the box later. Four nested knockouts accept conduit, and the housing has room for two single-gang outlets or one dual-gang outlet. The box ships with one shelf and the installation hardware, and is designed for a single installer. This version has no column-drop opening; choose the CMS492CP2 if a projector column must pass through the box.
