Tomorrow I expect the receive the Chief RPAUW ceiling mount I ordered from B&H.
My question is, I'd like to connect the projector (an Epson 3010) to a power outlet in the ceiling to avoid unsightly wires down the back wall.
Is it better to put a box and outlet in the ceiling and plug in there, or to run the power cord up through the 1-1/2" pipe through the ceiling and plug it in to an outlet in the attic? It would be cleaner to have the power in the mounting pipe, but keeping the box (and outlet) mounted in the ceiling seems safer (although it does mean making another hole in the newly painted (black) ceiling for the box.
What about the signal wiring (a pair of HDMI lines)? Run them through the 1-1/2" support pipe or tie-wrap them to the pipe and connect to another box in the ceiling with HDMI modular jacks?
Cheers,
Charlie
