Product Overview
The CHIEF CPA096 is a 96-inch column extension designed for ceiling-mounted projector and display installations. Finished in black, it offers a dual-pin connection system where screws do not pass through the column center, preserving the interior for clean cable pass-through. Compatible with Chief ceiling plates like CPA261 and CPA262, it features grooved surfaces that guide drilling and enhance appearance. Installers can cut, re-drill, or thread the column to 1.5" NPT, offering substantial customization.
