DNC-2193 — Full-Size HDMI Underwater Bulkhead Connector for Aquatica Nikon Z8 Housing (AZ8)
DNC-2193 is a professional underwater HDMI bulkhead connector engineered by Dive And See specifically for the Aquatica Nikon Z8 underwater housing (AZ8). It provides a reliable, vacuum-safe HDMI pass-through from the Nikon Z8 camera to an external underwater HDMI cable and monitor.
The defining feature of DNC-2193 is a 90-degree full-size HDMI Type-A connector inside the housing. This geometry improves cable routing in tight spaces and reduces stress on the camera HDMI port, making the system more reliable for frequent professional use.

DNC-2193 works with Dive And See fiber-optic HDMI systems for long-distance transmission, including the DNC-1034 — 100 m Fiber-Optic HDMI Cable. Fiber HDMI provides long runs with minimal signal loss and improved immunity to electrical noise.
Typical Applications
- Professional underwater cinematography
- External underwater monitoring (battery-free monitor setups)
- Scientific and industrial underwater imaging
- Surface recording and live streaming
- Long-distance HDMI transmission via fiber optics
Critical Tightening Warning
Before submerging the system: verify that the external HDMI coupling nut is fully tightened by hand (do not use pliers). An improperly secured connector may cause flooding or equipment damage.
