Chief - Legrand CMA450 Suspended Ceiling Plate

Product Description

The CHIEF - LEGRAND CMA450 is a suspended ceiling plate designed for use in ceiling mount installations. It serves as the primary interface between a suspended ceiling grid and a mounting assembly, providing a stable attachment point for displays, projectors, or other ceiling-mounted equipment. Installed by AV integrators, electricians, and commercial construction tradespeople, this plate is built for environments where a standard hard ceiling mount is not possible or practical. The CMA450 ships as a single unit and is suited for applications requiring a clean, professional ceiling integration.

This ceiling plate is used in commercial and institutional settings where suspended tile ceilings are the standard construction method. Typical applications include conference rooms, classrooms, lobbies, and other spaces with drop ceiling grids. It is designed to work within a modular mount system, connecting to compatible extension columns or mount assemblies above the ceiling plane to support the load of the installed equipment below.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for suspended ceiling grid installations
• Serves as a structural interface between the ceiling grid and a ceiling mount assembly
• Single-unit packaging suitable for per-location installs
• Compatible with modular ceiling mount systems for flexible configuration
• Supports clean above-ceiling routing of cables and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for use within modular suspended ceiling mount systems requiring a ceiling plate interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified AV integrator or commercial electrician familiar with ceiling mount systems and suspended ceiling construction. Before beginning work, de-energize any electrical circuits in the ceiling cavity and confirm the structural capacity of the ceiling grid or backing to support the intended load. Follow all applicable local building codes and the mount system manufacturer instructions for proper assembly sequence and hardware torque. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the ceiling grid or mounting hardware.
