DNC-1111: 100ft Underwater Power and Data Control Cable
The DNC-1111 is a versatile underwater power and data control cable designed for remote camera operations, such as controlling focus, iris, and zoom functions. This cable can power underwater housings from the surface while simultaneously providing control of camera features from distances of up to 100 feet.
Key Features:
- Dual Cable Functionality: Combines power and data transmission in a single cable, allowing for remote camera control and power supply.
- Length: 100 feet (30 meters) of cable for extended underwater operation.
- Built-in Water Block: Ensures a vacuum inside the housing, providing reliable waterproofing even in challenging environments.
- Control Capabilities: Suitable for controlling camera functions such as focus, iris, and zoom, which is especially useful when working with stabilizers, gimbals, or cranes.
- Power Supply: Low-power consumption cameras can be powered directly from the surface. Higher-power cameras may require an additional power source to compensate for voltage drops over long distances.
Cable Specifications:
- Composition: The cable includes two power wires (18 AWG) and four data wires.
- Connector: Equipped with a custom Dive And See waterproof connector on one end and open wires on the surface end for custom setups.
- Strength: Maximum pulling tension of 400 N ensures durability during use.
- Material: Constructed with a PVC jacket, outer diameter of 11 mm, for added protection and flexibility.
- Connector Material: Made from nickel-plated marine-grade brass for corrosion resistance and durability.
- Depth Rating: Designed for use at depths up to 30 meters.
Applications:
- Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Cameras: Ideal for PTZ cameras, this cable can remotely control camera functions such as zoom, focus, and iris.
- Handheld and Stabilized Setups: Perfect for shooting with handheld setups, gimbals, or cranes where remote camera control is necessary.
- Remote Power Feed: Feeds power to the camera from the surface, reducing the need for internal battery changes and ensuring longer shooting sessions.
Compatibility:
- Bulkhead Connector Compatibility: The DNC-1111 is compatible with bulkhead connectors like the DNC-2075, which provide secure underwater connections.
Options:
- Custom Lengths: Available upon request to suit your specific underwater setup needs.
Summary:
The DNC-1111 Underwater Power and Data Cable is a reliable solution for remote camera operations in underwater environments. With the ability to control camera functions and provide power from the surface, this cable is perfect for professional videographers, cinematographers, and marine researchers who require precision control and extended operation in challenging conditions. Its robust construction and compatibility with Dive And See connectors ensure top-tier performance even in the harshest underwater environments.
