Extron PCM 340 Projector Drop Ceiling Mount with Adjustable Pole

The Extron PCM 340 Projector Drop Ceiling Mount with Adjustable Pole delivers a practical, installer-friendly solution for suspending projectors in standard suspended ceiling environments. By replacing a single ceiling tile in 2' x 2' or 2' x 4' grid systems, it leverages the existing T-bar framework for stable support, eliminating the need for additional structural reinforcements, custom brackets, or invasive ceiling modifications.

This mount significantly streamlines AV deployments in classrooms, training rooms, boardrooms, and small-to-medium conference spaces where quick, cost-effective projector placement is essential. The adjustable pole mechanism allows precise vertical positioning, enabling integrators to achieve ideal throw distances, screen alignment, and image quality without trial-and-error adjustments or permanent ceiling alterations.

Fabricated from lightweight yet strong aluminum, the PCM 340 balances ease of handling during installation with the structural integrity required to safely support projectors up to 50 pounds. The pole extends from a minimum of 1.5 inches to a maximum drop of 23 inches, with fine 0.5-inch adjustment increments that provide exceptional control over projector height and projection angle.

The design incorporates thoughtful cable management features, including single-space and double-space junction box openings that allow clean, organized routing of power cords, HDMI, VGA, or control cables through the ceiling plenum. This helps maintain NEC compliance for Class 2 low-voltage wiring while keeping the installation tidy and professional-looking from below.

Compatibility encompasses the majority of standard professional projectors weighing 50 pounds or less, making the PCM 340 a go-to choice for educational institutions, corporate training facilities, and collaborative meeting environments. Its universal projector attachment interface works with most mounting patterns, ensuring broad applicability across projector brands and models commonly used in AV systems.

Installation is remarkably efficient: position the mount in the ceiling grid in place of a tile, secure it to the T-bar framework using the provided clips and hardware, fine-tune the pole length to the desired height, and attach the projector using standard mounting screws. The entire process minimizes downtime, reduces labor costs, and results in a flush, unobtrusive ceiling appearance that integrates seamlessly into modern architectural interiors.
