DNC-2164
M16 3G-SDI + Power Bulkhead Connector for Portkeys BM5 III WR Monitor Housing
The DNC-2164 is the monitor-side M16 underwater bulkhead connector for a Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor installed inside a compatible waterproof housing. It is designed to pass both 3G-SDI video signal and power through the housing wall and connect externally to the DNC-1158 underwater cable.
This connector is primarily used with the Salty Waterproof Housing for the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor. It works as one part of a three-component underwater SDI + power system: DNC-2164 on the monitor housing side, DNC-1158 as the external underwater cable, and DNC-2163 on the camera housing / D-Tap power side.
Key Features
- Monitor-side connector: Designed for the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing side of the system.
- Signal support: Supports 3G-SDI video signal, including 1080p60 workflows.
- Power connection: Supplies power to the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor inside the housing.
- M16 bulkhead thread: Installs through an M16 threaded port on a compatible underwater housing.
- Internal connections: Includes BNC for SDI signal and a locking 4-pin female Portkeys power connector.
- Quick-disconnect design: Internal detachable connector helps route the cable through the M16 port without soldering or custom wiring.
- Underwater system compatibility: Connects externally to the DNC-1158 combo 3G-SDI + power underwater cable.
Why the Internal Quick-Disconnect Matters
The internal quick-disconnect makes installation easier when working with the small M16 housing port. Larger internal connectors may not pass through the M16 opening as one complete piece. With the detachable connection, the smaller cable section can be routed through the port first, then reconnected inside the housing without soldering, rewiring, or complicated assembly work.
How This Connector Fits the Complete System
- DNC-2164: Installs on the Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing side.
- DNC-1158: External underwater cable that connects DNC-2164 to the camera-side bulkhead connector.
- DNC-2163: Camera-side M16 bulkhead connector with removable D-Tap power connection.
Compatibility
The DNC-2164 is compatible with the DNC-1158 combo 3G-SDI + power underwater cable.
For a complete underwater SDI + power connection between a camera housing and a Portkeys BM5 III WR monitor housing, use DNC-2164 together with DNC-1158 and DNC-2163. Each component is sold separately, allowing replacement or system expansion when needed.
