Chief CMA110

The Chief CMA110 is a compact, flat ceiling plate designed as the structural anchor point for projector and display ceiling installations in commercial AV environments. Measuring 20,3 × 20,3 cm, it provides a clean and low-profile ceiling attachment that pairs with any Chief CMS fixed or adjustable extension column — giving integrators full flexibility to dial in the correct drop height for each project. It also combines with the CMA120 adapter for angled or sloped ceiling installations. Targeted at AV integrators working in education, corporate, and healthcare spaces, the CMA110 delivers a certified-safe, high-capacity foundation with a rated load of 226,8 kg — far exceeding typical projector or display weights. Mounting hardware is included, and the product carries a 10-year warranty from Chief.

UL Listed and OSHPD Certified Safety

The CMA110 carries both UL Listed and OSHPD (Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) certifications. UL listing confirms the product has been independently tested for structural and electrical safety, while OSHPD approval specifically clears it for use in California healthcare facilities — one of the most demanding compliance environments in North America. For any installation in hospitals, clinics, or care facilities, this certification removes a significant procurement barrier and eliminates the need for additional engineering sign-off on the ceiling plate itself. The result is a faster, smoother approval process and a mount that can be specified with confidence across virtually any professional AV project.

Universal CMS Column Compatibility

The CMA110 is engineered to work with the entire range of Chief CMS extension columns — both fixed-length and adjustable — as well as any standard 1.5" NPT pipe threaded on both ends. This makes it a single, stocking SKU that covers a wide variety of installation depths without requiring a dedicated ceiling plate for each drop length. Integrators can adapt to varying ceiling heights and structural conditions on site simply by selecting the appropriate column, avoiding costly return trips or last-minute hardware substitutions. The plate also combines with the CMA120 for angled or sloped ceiling surfaces, extending applicability further.

226,8 kg Structural Load Capacity

With a rated weight capacity of 226,8 kg (500 lbs), the CMA110 is substantially over-engineered relative to any single projector or flat-panel display. This generous safety margin makes it suitable for heavier ceiling mount assemblies involving additional rigging hardware, long extension columns, or dual-display configurations. It also means the plate comfortably meets the structural requirements imposed by many facilities managers and building codes without requiring custom engineering assessments. In practice, this gives both integrators and end-user facility managers peace of mind that the ceiling anchor will not be a limiting factor — now or in future equipment upgrades.

Low-Profile Design for Tight Ceiling Spaces

At only 1,7 cm tall, the CMA110 adds virtually no drop to the overall installation height, making it particularly well suited for rooms with limited ceiling clearance. In classrooms, conference rooms, or auditoria where projector placement must be precise, minimising the plate's own depth keeps the projector or display as close to the ceiling as possible. The compact 20,3 × 20,3 cm footprint also suits installations where a larger plate would be aesthetically obtrusive or structurally impractical — for example in suspended tile ceilings with closely spaced grid rails.
