DLPBH13M Power Ethernet Low Profile Bulkhead Connector — Overview

The DLPBH13M is a 13-contact SubConn Compatible low-profile Power Ethernet bulkhead subsea connector, male (pins) face, combining four CAT 5E Ethernet twisted pairs with four 18 AWG power conductors and a screen in one wet-mateable interface. Power contacts are rated 600 V / 4 A (max 16 A per connector) and the data path sustains 1 Gbit/s up to 75 m.

13 Contacts 1 Gbit/s / 75 m 600 V / 4 A Power 600 bar Open Face 500+ Wet Matings SubConn Compatible IP68

Key Design Features

  • Power + Ethernet in one connector: four CAT 5E twisted pairs, four 18 AWG power conductors and a screen eliminate a second penetration and cable.
  • Wet-mateable: connect and disconnect underwater; the reconfigured contact geometry maximises data flow while eliminating cross-talk and noise.
  • Gigabit performance: 1 Gbit/s sustained up to 75 m of matched PUR cable.
  • SubConn Compatible: same face geometry and thread as the SubConn Ethernet series, so it retrofits existing panels without re-machining.
  • Gold-plated contacts: female sockets in gold-plated brass UNS-C36000, male contacts in gold-plated beryllium copper for stable low-resistance data and power paths.
  • Depth qualified: pressure tested to 600 bar / 8,700 psi open face; PEEK body option rated 300 bar / 4,350 psi.

Bulkhead leads (3.3 ft / 100 cm) CAT 5E patch cable, 5 x 20 AWG (0.52 mm²) coloured PTFE, incl. RJ 45 connector (supplied not installed)
Wire colour code 1 Black • 2 Screen (orange wire on bulkhead) • 3 White • 4-5 Brown, Brown/white* • 6-7 Blue, Blue/white* • 8-9 Orange, Orange/white* • 10-11 Green, Green/white* • 12 Red • 13 Green (* twisted pairs)
Termination note Standard RJ45 cannot be mounted on the inline cable; use an RJ45 Phoenix connector or equivalent. SAC305 solder recommended for CAT 5E pigtails.

Mating & Compatibility

Parameter Specification
Mates with DLPIL13F (in-line female)
Dummy connector DLPDC13F
Interchangeability SubConn Compatible — SubConn Ethernet / Power Ethernet series; also interchangeable with equivalent underwater Ethernet connectors

Typical Applications

Underwater vehicles that carry cameras, sonar and lights on one link, subsea control modules needing both power and network, observatory nodes, offshore renewable and oil-and-gas systems, and ROV/AUV payload hubs.

Notes for Selection

The 13-contact layout mirrors the standard single-function connector outline, so it drops into existing cut-outs while unifying signal and power. Power circuits are limited to 16 A per connector in total.

Custom configurations available Bulkhead shell material (brass / 316L stainless steel / titanium / anodised aluminium / PEEK), thread and lead lengths, cable assemblies in 1, 2 and 5 m and custom harnesses can be specified to order.
