Chief CMA472 Above-Tile Storage Accessory

Overview

The Chief CMA472 is an above-tile storage accessory designed to securely house equipment within suspended ceilings. Its compact enclosure measures 12.5 inches by 12 inches by 4.1 inches, making it ideal for spaces with limited depth while still accommodating wider devices in a horizontal layout.
