MINNEAPOLIS, MN--Chief Manufacturing has announced that a new line of power management products designed for digital signage is now shipping.
 
Chief now offers high-performance power conditioning and surge protection built into accessories used for installing projectors and flat panels. This design integrates the power conditioner with the outlet for improved audio and video performance while integrating with an installation. The offering is designed to save on valuable installation time by preassembling the outlet and electrical box to ensure protection for audio/visual equipment.
 
The power-infused products include the CMS440P Suspended Ceiling Kit, the CMS445P Suspended Ceiling Tile Replacement Kit and the PAC521P In-Wall Box for flat-panel TV wall mount applications
. The ceiling kit and in-wall box accessories replace the need for an outlet while providing AC cleaning for the best equipment performance.
 
Chief also offers the power conditioner as a separate SKU, the PX2W Power Outlet Conditioner. The PX2W can be ordered separately and be used with existing CMS440 and CMS445 installations, or installed in the wall like a standard electrical outlet.
 
Chief will also add a new power accessory to the lineup in March 2009. The In-Wall Power Extension System for flat-panel TV installations installs behind the flat panel, and connects remotely to an outlet or power conditioner.
