Equipment above a suspended ceiling

You can have a receptacle installed above the ceiling you just can't install flexible cord above the ceiling so if the monitors have a flexible cord and plug then you can't have the cord above the ceiling.

Take a look at 400.8(2) & (5)

I agree with Chris. Maybe these units could be hardwired if they are designed for above suspended ceilings.

I would just cut a receptacle into the ceiling tile and move on. Some of these TV mounts actually have a KO to mount an old work box in.

The rule is no cords above the ceiling, but it is ok to plug in a "wall wart" ac/dc transformer, right?
