Entertainment Market – Professional Broadcast, Audio/Video Production and Broadband
Perhaps no other market segment values cable performance as highly as this one - and we're sure that it's because a cable's performance and reliability have immediate and far-reaching implications. That's why the broadcast industry strongly prefers Belden® over any other cable brand. From special network events such as the Olympics, to everyday audio and video applications, Belden is the local, regional, and national choice.

In broadcast, top performance and reliability means a high quality product, absolute signal integrity and no system downtime. Belden provides performance for both critical field applications (where cable is dragged, crunched and tread upon) and permanent studio installations (where the long run is all important). These products are also an important link in major network and cable TV broadcasts, film studios and corporate broadcasting. Watch television last night or listen to the radio this morning? Chances are the link was made with Belden.

Innovative Technology
When shielding is required, our innovative technology delivers maximum effectiveness. In fact, Belden’s exclusive patented Beldfoil® design, with its aluminum/polyester foil, was the first shield to offer 100 percent cable protection against radiated emissions and ingress at audio and radio frequencies.

Belden also formulates many of its own insulation and jacket compounds. As a result, IndustrialTuff cables provide superior performance under a variety of hostile environmental conditions. Insulations include: PVC, polyethylene, FEP, polyolefin, foam HDPE, polypropylene, Datalene® and various compound combinations. Belden’s innovative armoring technology delivers maximum physical protection – protecting data, electronic, instrumentation and control cables with interlocking steel or aluminum armor. Smooth or corrugated protective metal tapes are also available.

Residential Cables: The Smart Choice for the Home
Belden manufactures all of the cables in the Residential line so you can be sure that each cable product is the result of the most rigorous quality processes in the industry. And, because we’ve been creating the industry’s most sophisticated and innovative cables for demanding applications at broadcast facilities, post-production facilities, state-of-the-art office buildings, businesses, college campuses and industrial facilities around the globe, you know that Residential voice, video, security and data communications cables are second to none.

A Real Innovation: Residential Banana Peel® Composite Cables Belden
Residential Banana Peel composite cables feature a patent-pending design that eliminates the need for an overall jacket, making these cables easy to handle, easy to identify, easy to pull and easy to terminate. Just peel the cables off the center spline, and you’re in business.

And since the overall jacket has been eliminated, the outer diameter is smaller than other composite cables, improving the overall bend radius for easier installation.




Belden’s Patented Data Cable Technology: Bonded-Pairs
To ensure top performance, Belden uses a unique manufacturing process that affixes the individual insulated conductors of the pairs along their longitudinal axes. This cable construction feature prevents gaps from occurring between the conductor pairs: a critical factor in the electrical performance of the cable. These cables are also able to withstand the rigors of a typical installation without any degradation in performance. This means that the Cat 5e cable that you purchase from Belden to meet Cat 5e specifications will meet these specifications before installation and, more importantly, after installation.

Coax Cables With Belden’s Exclusive Duobond Plus® Shielding
Duobond Plus is comprised of a Duobond® II (bonded foil tape) surrounded by an 80% braid and an outer layer of foil that includes a unique shorting fold. This unique construction provides optimum shielding effectiveness.

New Generation® Sound, Security and Alarm Cables
Market needs are continually challenging the limits of cable technology. And nowhere is the demand for uncompromising quality and leading-edge technology more critical than in sound and security applications.
