Assuming that I have appropriate fixings, what is the maximum weight I

I have one of these:

going to need to be wall-mounted. 400 CDs make quite a weight, and the
thing is heavy enough to begin with.

Might be an opportunity to try these

But aren't those specifically for dot-and-dab walls? I'm guessing the
OP's are stud wall construction, although it hasn't been specified.

It's odd. I made littlw holes with a drill to test. There's
plasterboard, then behind it there is a gap, and only at about 40mm is
there anything (which seems to be brick and mortar).
