DNC-2132: Underwater Ethernet 24mm Bulkhead Connector (Rotatable, Low Profile) for Z-CAM and Similar Cameras

Key Features:

• High-Speed Ethernet Transmission: The DNC-2132 supports LAN Ethernet data transfer at speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1,000 Mbps), ideal for transmitting data from underwater systems such as IP cameras, security cameras, and Z-CAM or similar cameras.
• Elbow Design for Compact Installations: The innovative 90-degree elbow design allows the external cable to remain horizontal, minimizing vertical bulk and offering more flexible installation options on your underwater housing.
• Material and Construction: Crafted from marine-grade aluminum with a hard-anodized coating, the connector is built to withstand underwater conditions and resist corrosion.
• Water Block Protection: Equipped with a built-in water block, the connector maintains the vacuum inside the housing when using an AirLock Vacuum System, preventing water ingress in case of cable issues.
• Depth Rating: Capable of withstanding depths of up to 160 meters (240 PSI), ensuring reliable performance even in deep-sea applications.
• Rotatable and Low-Profile Design: The rotatable bulkhead connector is equipped with a triple o-ring system for optimal sealing and flexibility, allowing you to install it in any desired direction.

Overview:

The DNC-2132 Bulkhead Connector is a rotatable, low-profile solution designed to simplify Ethernet connections in underwater applications, including Z-CAM and similar cameras. It provides a fast and reliable way to transmit data via Cat6 cables, supporting data transfer speeds of 1 Gbps over four twisted pairs of stranded copper wire (T-568B standard wiring).

The 90-degree elbow style ensures that the connector fits into tight spaces and reduces the profile of the cable, making it ideal for professional setups where space is at a premium. This connector is perfect for applications such as remote camera control, IP camera installation, and security camera systems that require Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Applications:

• IP Cameras and Security Systems: Connects underwater IP cameras (RS-485) and security cameras, enabling Power over Ethernet (PoE) and remote control functionalities.
• Z-CAM and Similar Cameras: Ensures fast data transmission for live preview, data control, and Ethernet-based control of Z-CAM cameras and other high-resolution video systems.
• Remote Control Applications: Enables sending LANC commands from your PC to the camera (via RS-232 port), making it ideal for underwater research and monitoring.
