Ceiling Solutions

There are many reasons why an installer or homeowner would choose to mount their television or projector to the ceiling. Space limitations are often a concern, and sometimes your available walls aren’t constructed to hold enough weight. For many nonstandard rooms or arrangements, ceiling mounting is the best option. In addition to the mount itself, you may need other accessories. With higher ceilings, drop poles and extension columns are usually necessary. The Crimson AV EA24 EA-Series Adjustable Length Extension Column can be used to close the gap between the ceiling and your viewing field.

Adjustable Extensions

The Crimson AV EA24 is an adjustable 2-4' drop pole for use with any of Crimson AV’s ceiling mounts and adapters. The 1.5” NPT interface means it can also be used with many other universally compatible mounts as well. Used with Crimson AV’s EC connectors, this column can be coupled with other EA-Series extensions to create extra-long drop lengths. The EA-Series features adjustable ceiling mount extension products from 6 inches to 12 feet, presenting the opportunity for an endless number of custom drop lengths.

The EA24 makes cable routing and organization easy with its round, open design. The column and the side cable outlet are both large enough to fit the head of a standard VGA connector. When the cable outlet isn’t in use, you can use the included cover plate to camouflage the opening. This extension column is rated to hold a weight of up to 500lbs and is coated in a scratch-resistant finish so you can be sure it will stand up to years of use while staying strong and looking sleek.

19" Wall Mount Open Frame Network Rack, Front-Hinged Swing Frame

Flat Pack, 2-Post, 17.7 in. Depth, Black RAL 9004

Hinged open frame enclosure wall rack for network and server equipment

The 6U 19" Wall Mount 2-Post Open Frame Network Rack from Intellinet Network Solutions is a simple, cost-effective way for housing IT equipment in secure environments that don't require a lockable rack solution. It's a great fit in places where small rack solutions are often dispersed throughout an organization, like at a remote location or branch office.
