DNC-2082 Underwater Ethernet Cat6 Bulkhead Connector with 7/16-20 Thread for Cameras, PoE, and Marine Systems
The DNC-2082 is a professional underwater Ethernet Cat6 bulkhead connector designed for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet communication through a 7/16-20 threaded port.
It is built for underwater cameras, IP camera systems, PoE applications, remote camera control, ROV camera setups, marine monitoring, and custom underwater housings that require reliable Ethernet connectivity in a compact threaded port.
Assembled in the USA by Dive And See. The DNC-2082 is not a generic waterproof RJ45 coupler. It is a purpose-built underwater Ethernet bulkhead connector made for professional marine camera and subsea network systems.

Why This Connector Matters Underwater
Ethernet allows underwater systems to transmit camera control, live view, data, FTP transfer, metadata, telemetry, and network communication between submerged equipment and the surface. The DNC-2082 provides a compact sealed Ethernet pass-through for housings using a 7/16-20 threaded port.
It is a strong choice when space is limited and a smaller threaded bulkhead connection is required for underwater Ethernet, camera control, or PoE applications.
Why This Is Not a Regular Waterproof RJ45 Coupler
Many waterproof RJ45 connectors are designed for outdoor or industrial panel use. The DNC-2082 is designed for underwater camera housings, marine monitoring systems, ROV camera setups, and subsea electronics where sealing, water block protection, thread compatibility, and underwater reliability matter.

Water Block Protection
The DNC-2082 includes a built-in water block, which helps maintain vacuum inside the underwater housing when used with an AirLock Vacuum System. It also helps protect the housing from water ingress in case of cable or connector damage.
Installation Note for 7/16-20 Thread
The RJ45 Ethernet connector does not pass through the 7/16-20 threaded port because the opening is too small. Before installation, remove the RJ45 connector from the end of the bulkhead connector cable, pass the cable through the 7/16-20 port, and crimp a new RJ45 connector after installation.
Use the T-568B wiring standard for the RJ45 connector. A spare RJ45 connector is included.
Custom Options
Custom cable lengths, connector styles, and underwater Ethernet configurations are available by request for camera housings, IP cameras, ROVs, inspection systems, marine research, and subsea communication projects.
