Product Overview
The CHIEF CPA072P is a 72" perforated column engineered for mounting projectors and display systems in professional environments. With factory pre-drilled holes and a dual pin connection, installation is secure and straightforward—thread-forming screws attach at each column end without penetrating the core, preserving internal space for cable pass-through. This optimized design simplifies cable management, resulting in cleaner installations.
Crafted in the United States and TAA-compliant, this black steel column supports versatile deployment scenarios. It can be cut to specific lengths, re-drilled, or threaded to 1.5" NPT interface, enabling a high degree of customization. Its grooved exterior not only improves visual appeal but also serves as a drill guide to ease modifications. Compatibility with Chief ceiling plates such as CPA261 and CPA262 adds further integration potential.
Perfect for AV integrators and professional installers, the CPA072P combines flexibility, function, and form. Whether used in classrooms, conference rooms, or commercial AV setups, it provides a reliable structural component with multiple length and connection options that help improve deployment speed and appearance.
