DNC-2130 — Underwater Bulkhead Connector (M16x1) for Teradek Lens Motor + SDI Live View Output
DNC-2130 is a professional underwater bulkhead connector that combines Teradek Lens Motor control (LEMO 5-pin data) and a 3G-SDI Live View output (BNC) in one compact M16x1 connector. It enables reliable 1080p60 SDI video transmission and lens motor control over a surface cable up to 100 ft (30 m) away from the camera housing.
Key Features
- 2-in-1 bulkhead: Teradek Lens Motor control (LEMO 5-pin) + 3G-SDI video output (BNC)
- 3G-SDI Live View: Supports 1080p60 video transmission (SMPTE 424M)
- High reliability for long runs: Designed for stable SDI transmission over surface cables
- M16x1 mount: Fits a standard 16 mm (0.625") housing port
- Depth rated: 240 PSI / 160 m
- Water Block protection: helps protect your housing if the external connection is compromised
Compatibility
- Compatible cable: DNC-1142
- Housings: Compatible with Salty underwater housings
- Typical use: SDI Live View from underwater cameras (example: ARRI Alexa Mini via BNC) with lens motor control via LEMO
Water Block (Vacuum + Flood Protection)
DNC-2130 includes a built-in Water Block that helps maintain vacuum when using systems such as AirLock and adds extra protection against water intrusion if something happens with the external cable or the cable-to-bulkhead connection.
Installation
- Port requirement: M16x1 threaded port or 16 mm through-hole
- Easy mounting: installs through the housing wall (short or long thread options)
Important Tightening Warning (Prevent Flooding)
- Before submerging, always verify the coupling nut is fully tightened BY HAND.
- Do not use pliers/tools on the coupling nut.
- If the connector is not fully hand-tightened, the system may flood and cause equipment damage.
