Outex Waterproof Cable & Tethering Pass-Through for Any Protocol: Audio, Video, Power, Data & Control
This add-on kit requires an Outex Pro Kit to work. It supplements a Pro Kit you already own, adding only the components needed for the cable pass-through capability — fully compatible with your existing front and rear glass and accessories.
Trusted by award-winning photographers and production professionals in more than 50 countries since 2010, Outex is the professional standard for universal waterproof camera housings, with a 4.7/5 satisfaction rating from a worldwide community of creators.
The Outex Cable Pass-Through system lets you route any cabled protocol — audio, video, power, data, control signals, or any other cable-based connection — through your waterproof housing seal without compromising the seal. Whether you’re tethering to a laptop, powering an external device, triggering strobes, or passing audio or video signals, this kit makes it possible underwater.
What’s Included
- Pro Cover T with 1 opening (Regular or Large — your choice)
- Cable Adaptor + Plug
- Lubricant for plug/cable
The Cover T has one opening on the bottom that accepts either the Cable Adaptor or the Tripod Adaptor (interchangeable). Use your standard Pro Cover when neither is needed. If you need both simultaneously, the Cover T2 with 2 openings is the right choice.
The Cable Adaptor creates a waterproof pass-through for any cable that fits its opening — audio, video, power, data, or control. Cables are not included, as the right cable depends on your specific use case.
Use Cases
The cable pass-through system is protocol-agnostic. Common applications include:
- Tethered capture — connect your camera to a laptop for live image transfer
- External power — run power cables to extend shooting sessions
- Audio — pass microphone or audio monitor cables through the housing
- Video output — route HDMI or SDI signals to an external monitor or recorder
- Strobe/lighting triggers — sync external strobes above or below water
- Control signals — connect any control cable your workflow requires

Dome Size Guide
**120mm dome** — Compact, lighter, more portable. Great value for most underwater and split-level work.
**180mm dome** — Larger dome = better optical correction, especially for wide-angle lenses and split-level photography. Recommended for professional and demanding use. Heavier and bulkier than the 120mm.
