Chief SUPENDED CEILING 2X2 KIT W/ POWER - CMS445P2

Product Overview

The Chief CMS445P2 is a 2×2 suspended ceiling tile replacement kit engineered for front-projector installations in commercial AV environments. It integrates a dual-gang electrical housing with filtered, surge-protected power directly into the ceiling tile footprint, eliminating a separate electrical rough-in for the projector circuit. The WireVice Cable Suspension System and TwisTile Ceiling Tile Cutter simplify cable management and column placement, reducing installation time on-site. A projection column and projector mount are sold separately and must be ordered to complete the installation.

Product Description

The Chief CMS445P2 Suspended Ceiling 2×2 Kit with Power is designed for conference rooms, training rooms, and commercial AV spaces where a clean, integrated ceiling installation is required for front-projection systems. The kit replaces a standard 2×2 ceiling tile and provides infinite column positioning within the tile footprint, giving installers the flexibility to position the projector precisely over the screen. The WireVice Cable Suspension System supports quick and secure cable tie-off above the ceiling plane, while the TwisTile Ceiling Tile Cutter pierces a clean circular hole for the extension column without additional tools. Power is delivered through a built-in dual-gang housing with an isolated ground and dual receptacle outlets rated at 125V~, 60 Hz, 15 A — supporting projectors up to 1,875 watts. The non-sacrificial multi-stage surge protection circuit withstands 240 VAC continuously without loss of protection and reduces common and differential mode noise by up to 40 dB via a ferrite toroid-based EMI filter. The All-Points Security System locks the column at the ceiling connection point to deter theft or unauthorized removal. Included hardware — four 25-foot flexible cables, four wood eyebolts, four concrete anchors, and a chrome trim ring — covers most standard installation scenarios. Compatible with 24-inch (600 mm) ceiling tile grids and 1.5-inch NPT columns for broad system compatibility. See the full Chief collection at creationnetworks.net/collections/chief.
