The DLPBH9M is a 9-contact SubConn Compatible low-profile Ethernet bulkhead subsea connector, male (pins) face, dedicated to Gigabit Ethernet. Four twisted pairs are routed through a reconfigured gold-plated contact set that maximises data flow while eliminating cross-talk and noise, sustaining 1 Gbit/s up to 75 m.
