Built for professional AV integrators and installers, it suits boardrooms, classrooms, auditoriums and digital signage environments where a clean, finished ceiling installation is required. The Speed-Connect system uses standard 1.5" NPT threading on both ends, making it compatible with the full range of Chief ceiling plates, couplers and mount accessories. Its lightweight yet strong aluminium construction keeps shipping costs low without compromising structural integrity, while integrated flow-through cable management hides cables inside the column for a neat result. Universal 1.5" NPT Speed-Connect System The CMS024W is threaded 1.5" NPT on both ends, which is the standard pipe thread used across Chief's entire ceiling mount ecosystem. This means the column connects directly to any Chief ceiling plate, NPT coupler, or compatible mount accessory without requiring adapters or special hardware. For installers working on a variety of projects, this standardisation significantly reduces planning time and the risk of ordering mismatched components. In practice, an end user benefits from a mechanically secure, rattle-free connection that can be assembled quickly on-site — an important factor in venues such as lecture halls or conference rooms where installation windows are tight. Built-In Flow-Through Cable Management The hollow aluminium tube routes cables internally from the ceiling plate down to the projector or display, with a dedicated cable exit port at the appropriate point. Unlike surface-run cable conduits or external cable ties, this approach results in a fully concealed wiring path that meets the visual standard expected in premium corporate and educational environments. There are no exposed cables to snag, attract dust, or be tampered with — a practical benefit in public-access spaces such as lobbies and classrooms. It also reduces the labour involved in tidying up a cable run after installation, saving time during commissioning. 226,8 kg Load Rating for Heavy Displays With a rated load capacity of 226,8 kg, the CMS024W comfortably accommodates even large, heavy commercial displays and projectors. This generous safety margin means the column is not the limiting factor in most ceiling-mount installations, so integrators can specify it confidently across a wide range of display sizes and weights without needing to check whether the column itself is a bottleneck. For end users, a properly loaded and torqued aluminium column at this rating delivers long-term structural reliability — the display stays exactly where it was aimed, year after year, without any sag or drift. TUV & UL Listed — TAA Compliant The CMS024W carries TUV certification and UL Listing, two widely recognised independent safety marks that confirm the product has been tested to applicable structural and electrical safety standards. TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes it eligible for procurement on US government and federally funded projects, but for European and commercial customers the TUV/UL marks serve as straightforward evidence that the product meets third-party safety requirements — removing the need for additional due-diligence steps on compliance-sensitive projects such as schools, hospitals and government buildings. This is backed by Chief's 10-year manufacturer warranty, which is unusually long for mounting hardware and reflects confidence in the product's durability.
