Hanwha SBP-150CMP Ceiling Mount Pipe Extension
Overview
The SBP-150CMP is a 150mm (5.9-inch) aluminum pipe extension that solves a straightforward installation problem: when your standard ceiling mount base doesn't provide enough vertical clearance between the camera and the mounting surface, this accessory bridges that gap without fabrication or base replacement. Deploy it singly for modest height adjustment, or chain multiple extensions together—including the SBP-300CMP and SBP-900CMP models—to reach deeper into structural cavities, around HVAC ducts, or through suspended ceiling plenums.
Key Features
- 150mm Vertical Extension: Provides a measured 5.9-inch offset between ceiling mount base and camera. This matters because undersized clearance forces you to either relocate the base or accept suboptimal camera angles. The SBP-150CMP eliminates that trade-off for modest height requirements.
- Aluminum Construction with Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum resists oxidation in humid indoor environments—retail, warehouses, food processing, healthcare facilities. Unlike steel alternatives, it won't require paint touch-ups or preventive coating maintenance over a 5–10 year deployment window.
- M10 Screw Thread Interface: Industry-standard M10 threads connect to SBP-140CMB and SBP-180CMB base models only. Before ordering, verify your existing base part number. M10 threads are durable but require straight, aligned installation to avoid cross-threading—misalignment on aluminum can damage the threads irreversibly.
- Stackable Design for Extended Reach: Each extension has M10 interfaces on both ends, allowing you to chain units in sequence. Combining SBP-150CMP + SBP-300CMP + SBP-900CMP yields 1,350mm (53 inches) of total extension—useful for installations where ceiling-mounted infrastructure (cable trays, structural beams, suspended grid systems) requires significant camera offset.
- Compatible with SBP-140CMB and SBP-180CMB Only: If your base is a different model—SBP-100CMB, SBP-110CMB, or non-Hanwha bases—this extension will not fit. Confirm part numbers before purchase to avoid installation delays and return hassle.
Integration & Compatibility
The SBP-150CMP threads directly into the M10 mount screw on SBP-140CMB or SBP-180CMB ceiling bases. After securing the extension, attach your Hanwha IP camera to the top threaded interface. If stacking multiple extensions, hand-thread each joint carefully to ensure uniform alignment—misaligned stacking can bind threads and prevent full seating.
Before deploying across a fleet of installations, test assembly on one base in your lab to confirm fit and thread engagement. Aluminum threads are robust but intolerant of cross-threading; a single installation error can compromise the extension's reusability.
When to Choose a Different Approach
If your installation requires more than 1,350mm of total extension, the ceiling mount system is not the right solution—consider a wall-mounted bracket system or pedestal base instead. The SBP-150CMP provides vertical extension only; it does not accommodate pan, tilt, or lateral offset. If your camera requires off-angle mounting, use a directional wall bracket or articulating arm mount instead.
If your ceiling base is not an SBP-140CMB or SBP-180CMB, this extension will not fit. Contact your integrator to identify the correct extension model for your base family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I stack multiple SBP-150CMP extensions together?
A: Yes. The SBP-150CMP has M10 threaded interfaces on both ends, allowing you to chain multiple units in sequence. You can also mix the SBP-150CMP with the SBP-300CMP and SBP-900CMP for different cumulative reach values.
Q: What is the maximum total extension length I can achieve by chaining extensions?
A: Stacking SBP-150CMP + SBP-300CMP + SBP-900CMP yields 1,350mm (approximately 53 inches). Beyond this, switch to a wall bracket or pedestal mount.
Q: Which ceiling base models are compatible with the SBP-150CMP?
A: The SBP-150CMP is compatible only with SBP-140CMB and SBP-180CMB base models. Verify your base part number before ordering. Mismatched bases will not accept the M10 thread interface.
Q: Can I attach a camera directly to the top of a stacked extension?
A: Yes. Each extension—including the topmost unit in a stack—has a female M10 threaded interface that accepts a camera mount bracket or the camera's base mounting screw.
Q: What maintenance does the aluminum extension require?
A: None. Aluminum resists corrosion in indoor humid environments. No paint touch-ups or protective coatings are necessary. If dust accumulates on the threads, wipe with a dry cloth before stacking additional extensions.
Q: Is the SBP-150CMP rated for outdoor use?
A: The extension itself is corrosion-resistant aluminum and can withstand indoor humid environments indefinitely. However, outdoor deployments expose the camera and base to UV, extreme temperature swings, and salt spray. For outdoor ceiling mounts, consult the outdoor variant of the Hanwha ceiling mount line.

The SBP-150CMP is a straightforward accessory that solves a real field constraint: insufficient vertical clearance between ceiling and camera. At 150mm, it's the right size for most retrofit deployments where HVAC ducts or cable trays sit just below the structural slab. The aluminum construction eliminates rust risk in humid warehouses and food facilities, something you won't have to revisit in five years.
Technical Highlights:
- 150mm Extension Length (5.9 inches): Sufficient for single-stage clearance in most suspended ceiling and plenum scenarios. Each additional extension adds predictable, known reach—no guesswork.
- M10 Thread Interface: Industry-standard thread size ensures compatibility across SBP-140CMB and SBP-180CMB bases. The M10 is rigid and tolerant of modest vibration—won't rattle loose on a busy retail ceiling.
- Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum: Resists oxidation indefinitely in indoor humidity. Zero maintenance compared to steel alternatives that require periodic coating inspection.
- Chainable Design: Stacking three units yields 1,350mm. Useful but limited; if you need more reach, the ceiling mount approach is no longer the right answer.
Deployment Considerations:
- Base Compatibility is Non-Negotiable: Verify your ceiling base is an SBP-140CMB or SBP-180CMB before ordering. Wrong base = wasted PO and installation delay. There is no adapter.
- Thread Alignment Matters: Aluminum threads are robust but intolerant of cross-threading. Hand-thread each joint carefully, especially in stacked configurations. A single misaligned installation ruins the extension's reusability.
- Static Load Only: This extension provides vertical reach, not lateral offset or tilt. If your camera needs to point at an angle, use a wall bracket or articulating arm instead.
Deploy the SBP-150CMP in retail, warehouse, and facility environments where standard ceiling bases fall 100–200mm short of required clearance. It's reliable, maintenance-free, and straightforward—exactly what a pipe extension should be.
