DNC-1179 LBUS Cable Assembly for Waterproof Bulkhead Connectors
The DNC-1179 is a professional assembled LBUS cable designed to connect ARRI LBUS-compatible devices to a Dive And See waterproof LBUS bulkhead connector system. It is built for professional cinema, underwater housing integration, remote lens control, and custom underwater camera systems.
Overview
The DNC-1179 LBUS Cable Assembly is a finished cable assembly for professional ARRI LBUS and lens-control applications. One side connects to an LBUS-compatible device using a 4-pin LEMO connector. The other side connects to a compatible waterproof LBUS bulkhead connector, allowing LBUS communication to pass through an underwater housing or sealed enclosure.
This cable is useful when a camera, lens motor, or control device must be integrated into a waterproof housing while maintaining a clean and reliable LBUS connection. It is not a generic cable; it is a purpose-built assembly for professional underwater cinema and remote lens-control systems.
