DNC-2194 Swivel HDMI Bulkhead Connector (1-inch-14) – Full Size HDMI Type-A
The DNC-2194 Swivel HDMI Bulkhead Connector is a precision-engineered underwater HDMI solution designed to improve external cable routing and ergonomics.
Unlike standard HDMI bulkhead connectors that force the external HDMI cable into a vertical orientation, the DNC-2194 features a rotatable swivel (elbow) design that allows the external underwater HDMI cable to remain in a horizontal position. This reduces mechanical stress on the connector, minimizes external cable bending, and significantly improves usability when connecting external monitors, recorders, or long-distance HDMI cables.
Key Advantage – Swivel (Rotatable) HDMI Design
Standard HDMI bulkhead connectors lock the cable direction vertically, which can cause excessive bending and strain over time. The DNC-2194 swivel design allows the installer to set the exact cable angle needed for each housing configuration.
- Horizontal cable routing (more ergonomic than vertical)
- Cleaner cable management inside tight housings
- Improved long-term reliability for professional deployments
Water Block & Vacuum Safety
DNC-2194 includes Dive And See Water Block Technology to support vacuum systems and provide an extra layer of protection. The Water Block helps maintain vacuum inside the housing and reduces the risk of water ingress if an external cable or connection fails.
Full Size HDMI Type-A Connector
The DNC-2194 uses a Full Size HDMI Type-A connector for a robust mechanical connection and improved durability compared to smaller HDMI formats. This provides better compatibility with professional underwater HDMI cables and stable performance for extended underwater operation.
