Product Overview
The Chief CMS036 is a 36-inch fixed aluminum extension column for ceiling-mounted projector and display installations. It is threaded with 1.5-inch NPT on both ends and works with any Chief 1.5-inch NPT ceiling plate or accessory. Flow-through cable management with a cable exit port keeps wiring concealed. It suits conference room, auditorium, and commercial meeting space ceiling installations that require a fixed drop height.
Product Description

The CMS036 is a fixed-length extension column built to save installation time and add security to ceiling-mounted AV. Its aluminum construction provides high strength while keeping the column light enough for straightforward installation. The column consists of a 1.5-inch NPT pipe threaded on both ends, so it connects directly to any Chief 1.5-inch NPT ceiling plate, coupler, or mount accessory. Flow-through cable management with a dedicated cable exit port routes signal and power wiring inside the column for a clean, concealed appearance. As a fixed 36-inch length, it establishes a defined drop from the ceiling structure to the projector or display mount. The CMS036 is TAA compliant, supporting procurement requirements for government and education projects. It is a dependable component for integrators standardizing ceiling drops across commercial meeting spaces and auditoriums.
