Product Overview The Chief CMS036W is a 36-inch fixed extension column engineered for projector and flat panel ceiling mounting in commercial AV environments. Machined from aluminum and threaded on both ends with 1.5" NPT, it pairs with any Chief 1.5" NPT ceiling plate or coupler to set a precise drop height. Flow-through cable routing keeps signal and power cabling concealed inside the column for a clean overhead installation. The white finish blends into ceilings in conference rooms, classrooms, and other commercial meeting spaces. Product Description The CMS036W belongs to Chief's Speed-Connect fixed column family, designed to reduce installation time on overhead projector and display mounts. The column is a single aluminum extrusion threaded 1.5" NPT on both ends, so it threads directly into a compatible ceiling plate at one end and a mount or coupler at the other. A cable exit port supports flow-through cable management, allowing installers to route cabling through the interior of the column and out at the connection point. The 36-inch length suits rooms with higher ceilings where a longer drop is needed to bring a projector or display to the correct viewing height. Aluminum construction keeps the assembly lightweight while maintaining the strength required for commercial-grade overhead support. The white finish is intended to match light-colored ceilings and architectural elements. Because it uses the industry-standard 1.5" NPT thread, the CMS036W integrates with the wider Chief ceiling mounting ecosystem of plates, couplers, and adapters. This product is TAA compliant for government and institutional procurement. For additional drop-height options and compatible hardware, browse the full Chief collection.
