Hanwha SBP-302CM-06 6-Inch Ivory Extension Pipe
The SBP-302CM-06 is a 6-inch extension pipe designed to give you flexibility in camera placement when working with Hanwha IP cameras mounted on pendant systems. Rather than forcing a camera into a fixed position, this accessory lets you extend the mounting reach downward—critical when your ideal camera sightline doesn't align with the nearest pendant mount location. The ivory finish blends into most interior environments without standing out as cable clutter.
Key Features
- 1.5-Inch Thread Type: The SBP-302CM-06 uses a standard 1.5-inch threaded connection, which means it screws directly into all Hanwha ivory pendant mounts without adapters. No fumbling with couplers unless you're chaining multiple pipes together.
- Aluminum and Steel Construction: The combination of aluminum (lightweight, corrosion-resistant) and steel (structural rigidity) means the pipe won't sag under a camera's weight over time. The material mix also handles temperature swings in uninsulated or poorly climate-controlled spaces (warehouses, loading docks, outdoor sheltered areas) better than plastic-only alternatives.
- 6-Inch Extension: Six inches of additional reach is enough to clear most ceiling beams, HVAC ductwork, or architectural protrusions without requiring a second pipe. If you need more reach, you can chain multiple SBP-302CM-06 units together using the SBP-HCF coupler (sold separately).
- Ivory Finish: Matches Hanwha's standard ivory mount color palette. If your installation uses black or other colors, this pipe will be visually obvious—plan accordingly, or consider painting.
- Secure Threadlock: Once screwed into position, the 1.5-inch thread provides a locked mechanical joint. No electrical connections, no moving parts—the extension pipe simply displaces the camera body away from the ceiling plane.
- Lightweight and Simple Installation: No tools beyond a wrench are required. Screw it in by hand or with a strap wrench to avoid thread slip. The low weight means installation doesn't require a second person or a lift.
Integration and Compatibility
The SBP-302CM-06 is compatible with the following Hanwha pendant mounts and accessories:
- Hanwha SBP-302CMA and SBP-302CMB Pendant Mounts
- Hanwha SBP-HCF Coupler (for chaining multiple extension pipes)
- All Hanwha Ivory Hanging Mounts
For camera selection, any IP camera with a standard pendant mount footprint will work once the extension pipe is in place. Verify your camera's mount interface in the Wisenet Toolbox before ordering to confirm compatibility with the pendant system you're deploying.
Physical Specifications
The pipe measures 2.13 inches wide by 8.56 inches in height, giving you the promised 6-inch extension with minimal overhead for the threaded collar. This compact footprint is useful in tight ceiling cavities where you don't want the extension hardware to protrude excessively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the SBP-302CM-06 with black or stainless steel pendant mounts?
A: No. The SBP-302CM-06 is specifically designed for Hanwha ivory mounts. The thread type is compatible with the mechanical connection, but the ivory finish will be visually mismatched. Hanwha offers black and stainless variants in their mount lineup—use those instead.
Q: What's the maximum weight the SBP-302CM-06 can support?
A: The pipe itself is passive—it's the pendant mount, not the extension pipe, that determines weight capacity. Refer to your specific pendant mount's datasheet for load ratings. The aluminum/steel construction of the extension pipe is designed to handle standard network camera weights (typically 0.5–3 lbs) without deflection.
Q: Can I chain two or more SBP-302CM-06 pipes together?
A: Yes. Use the SBP-HCF coupler (sold separately) to connect multiple pipes end-to-end. This extends reach in increments of 6 inches per pipe. Be aware that longer chains increase vibration sensitivity—avoid chaining more than two pipes in environments with significant air movement or mechanical vibration.
Q: Do I need any tools to install the SBP-302CM-06?
A: A pipe wrench or strap wrench is recommended to prevent thread slippage during installation. Hand-tightening alone may loosen over time if the camera is repositioned frequently. No electrical or specialized tools are required.
Q: Will the SBP-302CM-06 rust or corrode in outdoor or humid environments?
A: The aluminum core resists corrosion, but the steel components can oxidize if exposed to direct rain or salt spray for extended periods. For outdoor use, inspect regularly and consider applying a protective coating. For indoor environments (warehouses, parking garages, loading docks), the material mix performs well.
Q: Is the SBP-302CM-06 suitable for PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras?
A: Yes, if your PTZ camera uses a compatible Hanwha pendant mount. The extension pipe itself is neutral to camera type—it simply extends reach. However, PTZ cameras are heavier than fixed boxes, so verify the pendant mount's load rating before extending with this pipe.

The SBP-302CM-06 solves a real problem in pendant mount deployments: ceiling geometry. When you're mounting cameras on pendant mounts and the ideal sightline doesn't align with your chosen mount location, this 6-inch pipe gives you the flexibility to drop the camera below the ceiling plane without ripping out infrastructure. It's a passive component, which means zero maintenance and zero failure modes—just aluminum and steel doing what they've done for decades.
Technical Highlights:
- 1.5-Inch Thread Interface: The standard 1.5-inch thread is universal across Hanwha's ivory mount ecosystem. No proprietary adapters, no guessing whether your camera will thread in cleanly. The thread pitch is tight enough that hand-tightening under moderate torque holds reliably without vibration-induced loosening.
- Aluminum/Steel Hybrid Material: Aluminum handles corrosion resistance and temperature cycling; steel provides the rigidity needed to prevent sag on cameras in the 0.5–3 lb range. In a 70°F to 95°F indoor environment (typical for climate-controlled buildings), material expansion is negligible. In unconditioned warehouses or loading docks (–10°F to 120°F), the hybrid approach is notably more stable than aluminum-only or plastic.
- 6-Inch Reach:** Six inches is the sweet spot for most ceiling-mounted pendant applications. It clears typical architectural obstructions (HVAC ducts, beams) without requiring a coupler. If you need more, the SBP-HCF coupler is available—but every additional pipe increases vibration sensitivity and visual bulk.
Deployment Considerations:
- Load Verification: The extension pipe is passive. Its load capacity is entirely dependent on the pendant mount it threads into. Always confirm your pendant mount's rated load before deploying a heavy camera (PTZ units can exceed 4 lbs) on an extended pipe. Undersized mounts can sag or fail.
- Color Matching: Ivory finish is specific. If your installation uses black or stainless mounts, the ivory pipe becomes a visual liability. Plan for this upfront, or budget for repainting if aesthetics matter in the space.
- Corrosion in Damp or Outdoor Environments: Steel components will develop surface oxidation in high-humidity or salt-spray environments. The aluminum core resists this, but steel fasteners and edges will rust over months to years. For wet environments, inspect quarterly and consider a clear epoxy topcoat on the steel sections.
Best deployment: interior institutional environments (schools, hospitals, warehouses, offices) where pendant mounts are the baseline infrastructure and you need precise vertical adjustment without adding complexity. Skip it if you're in a full-outdoor installation or corrosive environment—upgrade to stainless hardware instead.
