DNC-2139 Underwater Shielded Cat7 Ethernet M16 Bulkhead Connector - 16mm Port
DNC-2139 is an underwater shielded Cat7 Ethernet bulkhead connector designed for high-speed LAN communication, PoE systems, IP cameras, ROV-style electronics, and custom underwater housings.
This connector is built for applications where reliable Ethernet data transmission is required through a sealed 16mm / M16x1 housing port. It supports shielded Ethernet cable construction and can be used in systems requiring up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability, depending on the complete cable, connector, and device configuration.
Overview
The DNC-2139 bulkhead connector uses shielded Cat7 Ethernet cable construction with stranded T-568B wiring. It is designed to pass Ethernet data through underwater housings while maintaining a waterproof sealed connection and supporting remote control, monitoring, and data communication with compatible equipment.
This type of connector is useful for IP cameras, underwater camera systems, remote control applications, inspection systems, and marine electronics where Ethernet or PoE-style communication is required.

Ethernet Performance
DNC-2139 is designed for high-speed Ethernet communication using shielded Cat7 cable construction. The connector can support LAN data transmission up to 10 Gigabit capability when used with compatible cables, devices, and system design.
It can also be used for camera control, IP camera communication, RS-485 or RS-232 control workflows through Ethernet-based systems, and PoE-style applications where the complete system is designed for the required power and data load.
Installation Notes
DNC-2139 fits an M16x1 threaded port or a 0.625 inch / 16mm through-hole. The RJ45 connector can pass through a 16mm housing opening during installation.
Available thread styles for this connector type include M16x1 short thread for Nauticam-style housings and M16x1 long thread for Aquatica, Amphibico, and Aquatech-style housings.
Water Block
The DNC-2139 underwater bulkhead connector comes with a built-in water block.
The water block helps keep vacuum inside the housing when using an AirLock vacuum system. It also helps protect the housing against water penetration if the external cable or external connector connection becomes damaged.
