Chief CMA101W

The Chief CMA101W is a 12,7 cm white designer ceiling plate intended for professional projector ceiling mount installations. It provides a clean, finished entry point at the ceiling for any NPT 1-1/2" pipe or extension column system, making it suitable for boardrooms, classrooms, auditoriums, and other presentation spaces where a tidy, low-profile ceiling interface is required. Its 10,2 × 10,2 cm mounting pattern accommodates a wide range of Chief projector mount assemblies and allows flexible bolt placement using either all four or two opposing holes. The CMA101W carries OSHPD, TÜV, and UL certifications and is backed by Chief's 10-year limited warranty.

Universal NPT Drop Height Flexibility

The CMA101W accepts any length of standard NPT 1-1/2" pipe threaded on both ends, which means the installer is not locked into a fixed drop height. Whether the ceiling is a shallow 2,5 m drop or a 6 m atrium, the right column length can be selected to put the projector exactly where it needs to be. This makes the plate universally applicable across venue types — classrooms, conference rooms, auditoria — without requiring a different ceiling interface for each project.

Flexible Bolt-Hole Configuration

The 10,2 × 10,2 cm mounting pattern supports equipment attachment using all four bolt positions or just two opposing holes. This gives installers flexibility to align with structural requirements overhead or to suit the specific mount adapter being attached below. The pattern is sized for standard 0,95 cm mounting bolts, which are widely available and consistent across Chief's projector mount ecosystem — reducing the need for special hardware on site.

Any drop height. Any room. One reliable ceiling plate.

Triple Safety Certifications

The CMA101W carries OSHPD (California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development), TÜV, and UL certifications — a combination that satisfies the structural and electrical safety requirements of healthcare, education, government, and commercial facilities. OSHPD in particular is mandatory for ceiling-mounted equipment in California hospitals and clinics, making this plate a ready answer for those end-customers without additional engineering sign-off. For the wider market, TÜV and UL certifications substantiate the 226,8 kg load rating and give facilities managers documented compliance.

226,8 kg Rated Load Capacity

A load rating of 226,8 kg far exceeds the weight of any conventional projector assembly, which means the plate does not become the limiting factor in an installation — even when combined with heavy extension columns or additional accessories. This headroom is particularly valuable in installations where the equipment configuration may change over time, or where a heavier commercial laser projector replaces an older unit without requiring a new ceiling plate.

10-Year Limited Warranty

Chief's standard 10-year limited warranty on non-electrical products covers material and workmanship defects from the date of invoice. For end-users running projectors in mission-critical spaces — lecture halls, control rooms, permanent conference facilities — this long warranty horizon reduces lifecycle risk and makes the total cost of ownership predictable. It also signals the quality standard built into what might otherwise seem like a commodity component.
