DNC-2103 Underwater LANC Remote Trigger M16 Bulkhead Connector - Rotatable Elbow
DNC-2103 is an underwater LANC remote trigger bulkhead connector designed for camera start/stop, shutter trigger, and remote camera control applications inside underwater housings.
The rotatable elbow-style M16 bulkhead design helps route the cable close to the housing body, making it useful for compact underwater camera systems where cable direction and clearance are important.
Overview
LANC control is commonly used to control video cameras and connected camera accessories remotely. In underwater systems, a LANC bulkhead connector allows the operator to pass camera control signals through the housing wall without opening the housing or pressing camera buttons directly.
DNC-2103 was designed for custom underwater housings and camera systems that need reliable LANC remote trigger control through a sealed M16 bulkhead connection.
