DNC-1158
Combo 3G-SDI + Power Underwater Cable for Portkeys BM5 III WR Monitor Housing
The DNC-1158 is the external underwater cable that links the two bulkhead connectors in a Portkeys BM5 III WR underwater monitoring setup. It carries both 3G-SDI video signal and power between the camera housing side and the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing side.
This cable is used outside the housings, in the water, and connects to waterproof connectors on both ends. It is the center link of the three-part system and is designed to work with the DNC-2163 and DNC-2164 M16 bulkhead connectors, which are sold separately.
Key Features
- Signal support: Designed for 3G-SDI video signal, including 1080p60 workflows.
- Power + video in one cable: Combines SDI signal and power connection in a single underwater cable.
- Approximate cable length: Around 1 meter.
- Cable diameter: Flexible underwater combo cable with approximately 6.2 mm outside diameter.
- Depth rating: Rated for underwater use down to 100 meters.
- Waterproof ends: Waterproof connectors on both ends for secure external underwater connection.
- Modular system: Cable, camera-side bulkhead connector, and monitor-side bulkhead connector are sold separately for easier replacement or system expansion.
How This System Works
The DNC-1158 cable connects the two M16 bulkhead connectors used in the complete underwater SDI + power assembly:
- Monitor housing side: Connects to DNC-2164, the M16 SDI + power bulkhead connector for the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing.
- Camera housing side: Connects to DNC-2163, the M16 SDI + power bulkhead connector for the camera housing side with removable D-Tap power.
Together, these three components create a clean underwater connection from the SDI camera housing to the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing, carrying video signal and power through one external cable.
Required Related Products
- DNC-2164: Required on the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing side.
- DNC-2163: Required on the camera housing / D-Tap power side.
Note: The DNC-1158 cable does not include internal quick-disconnect connectors. The removable internal links are part of the compatible bulkhead connector assemblies, such as DNC-2163 and DNC-2164. This cable is the external waterproof link between those two bulkhead connectors.
Best Use
The DNC-1158 is best used for professional underwater video systems where a Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing needs to receive 3G-SDI video and power from a camera housing. It is suitable for underwater filming, inspection work, marine research, and other applications where a reliable external SDI + power connection is required.
