Variable position LCD Projector Ceiling Plate

Ideal Use Cases

The Peerless-AV CMJ455 is intended for indoor suspended-ceiling installations requiring a ceiling-mounted interface for a projector mount or mounting column. Its 50 lb maximum load capacity supports compatible mounting assemblies within that stated limit. A 36-inch drop length accommodates installations where the mounting point must extend below the true ceiling. The white, ceiling-mountable design is suited to suspended-ceiling integration, while the included tray components establish the mounting location above the finished ceiling plane.

Why Choose This Model

The CMJ455 combines steel construction with a scratch-resistant finish specified as powder coated and fused epoxy. The kit is designed around a suspended tray system rather than a direct surface-mounted plate. Its supplied components include the ceiling kit, tie wire, flush-mount tube, and two knockout panels. The product is also identified as RoHS, TAA, UL, and OSHPD certified or compliant, with TAA compliance and UL listing stated separately in the source specifications.

This model is specifically classified as a ceiling plate and mounting accessory. It does not include a projector or projector mount, and no imaging, lens, connectivity, or audio specifications apply to the plate itself. Hanger brackets are also not supplied. Peerless-AV identifies the ACC455 hanger brackets as a separately sold accessory.

Installation and Integration

The suspended ceiling plate system consists of an 8-inch by 24-inch filler tray and a 15.75-inch by 24-inch ceiling tray. The ceiling tray is suspended from the true ceiling above using four tie wires. This arrangement creates the support point for a compatible projector mount or mounting column while integrating with a suspended-ceiling installation.

Assembly is required. Before installation, verify that the complete mounting assembly remains within the 50 lb maximum load capacity and determine whether the separately sold ACC455 hanger brackets are required. The included flush-mount tube and two knockout panels should be identified along with the tray and tie-wire components before assembly begins. The product is specified for indoor use only and has a 36-inch drop length.

Performance Highlights

• Maximum supported load capacity of 50 lb
• 36-inch drop length for suspended mounting applications
• Supports mounting columns and projector mounts
• Steel construction with a white finish
• Scratch-resistant, powder-coated, fused-epoxy finishing
• Approximate product weight of 13.60 lb
• Ceiling-mountable form factor for indoor use

The performance characteristics of the CMJ455 are structural and installation focused. Because it is a mounting plate rather than a projector, it does not provide or affect native resolution, brightness, contrast, lens adjustment, refresh rate, input lag, audio, or signal connectivity.

What Makes It Different

The CMJ455 uses two tray sizes within one suspended-ceiling kit: an 8-inch by 24-inch filler tray and a larger 15.75-inch by 24-inch ceiling tray. Four tie wires suspend the ceiling tray from the true ceiling, while the included flush-mount tube and knockout panels complete the stated package configuration. This component-based arrangement distinguishes it from a basic direct-to-ceiling mounting plate.

Its accessory requirements are clearly defined. The kit includes the stated suspended-ceiling components but excludes hanger brackets, allowing the ACC455 brackets to be obtained separately when needed. The combination of a 50 lb capacity, 36-inch drop, white steel construction, and listed compliance information provides concrete selection criteria for matching the plate to an installation.

Final Assessment

The Peerless-AV CMJ455 is a purpose-built suspended ceiling kit for indoor projector-mount and mounting-column installations. It offers a 50 lb maximum load capacity, a 36-inch drop length, dual tray components, and suspension from the true ceiling using four tie wires. Its scratch-resistant white finish and included flush-mount tube and knockout panels define the supplied configuration. Installation requires assembly, and ACC455 hanger brackets must be purchased separately if the installation calls for them.
