DNC-2173 Custom Low-Profile USB-C Bulkhead Connector
The DNC-2173 is a custom low-profile USB-C bulkhead connector with a 1/2-20 thread, designed primarily for Ikelite underwater housings equipped with a compatible 1/2-20 accessory port. It provides a compact, waterproof pass-through connection for camera control and data transfer while conserving valuable space inside the housing.
Key Features
- Designed for Ikelite housings: The 1/2-20 thread fits compatible Ikelite accessory ports, including supported 200DL housing configurations.
- Custom low-profile design: The compact internal profile reduces interference with the camera, USB-C plug, and other components inside the housing.
- USB-C camera connection: Supports camera control and data transfer when used with a compatible camera and the Dive And See DNC-1030 underwater-to-surface cable.
- Long-distance operation: Compatible DNC-1030 configurations support data transmission and remote camera operation over distances up to 30 meters.
- Integrated water block: Helps isolate the housing interior from the external cable side if the cable is disconnected or damaged.
- Straightforward installation: Installs through the housing's 1/2-20 accessory port and secures from the inside with the included retaining nut.
Made for Ikelite Underwater Camera Systems
This custom USB-C bulkhead connector is intended primarily for Ikelite underwater housings with an available 1/2-20 accessory port. It is especially useful in professional underwater photography, video, inspection, research, and remote-monitoring systems where the camera must remain connected to surface equipment.
The low-profile body minimizes the amount of space required inside the housing. This makes the DNC-2173 well suited to tightly packed camera installations, including compatible Ikelite 200DL configurations for Sony Alpha A7 III and A7R III cameras.
Applications
- Remote control of compatible cameras inside Ikelite underwater housings
