Safety and Security Applications

Belden Compression Connectors, Coaxial Cables and Tools constitute a best-in-cla
ss, end-to-end solution for field installations. Belden Cable Assemblies are ava
ilable for quick delivery and provide both the highest level of reliability and
installation ease.
Richmond, IN, July 29, 2010 -- Belden (NYSE: BDC), a leader in signal transmissi
on solutions announced today the introduction a new line of F, BNC and RCA Compr
ession Connectors and Tools, along with the availability of both standard or cus
tom-configured Cable Assemblies. When the new Connectors and Tools are used in c
ombination with Belden Coaxial Cable, they comprise a top-quality, field install
ation solution designed for reliable signal performance and easy installation. F
or the ultimate in reliability and installation ease, users should specify Belde
n Cable Assemblies.
Belden Compression Connectors and Tools:
The new Compression Connectors are fine-tuned to Belden Coaxial Cable tolerances
to ensure maximum signal reliability and performance for audio/video, safety an
d security applications. The new Compression Connector Tool also ensures a secur
e, positive compression the first time and every time, resulting in faster, easi
er installations. Other connector systems use a crimping technique which inevita
bly damages the jacket, dielectric and wire, resulting in multiple signal leakag
e points and moisture entry.
According to Chris Nieshalla, Belden’s Vertical Marketing Manager for Commercial
Audio/Video Products, “Our goal is to provide our customers with a complete, si
ngle-source field installation solution that includes the cabling, connectors an
d tools – all manufactured to Belden’s exacting standards. With all components g
uaranteed to work together as a system, installers and integrators will be able
to both streamline and improve the overall quality of the installation process,
while providing their customer with optimal signal performance.”
Nieshalla also notes that when the Connectors and Tools are used with Belden Cab
le, Belden extends a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the connectors. If other cable
brands are used, a Limited 10-year warranty is offered.
Belden’s entire family of F, BNC and RCA Series Compression Connectors exceed SC
TE Standards for signal ingress, egress and water migration, while providing out
standing aesthetic and strength characteristics. Exceptional connector performan
ce is assured through use of three 360-degree compression rings and a visual con
firmation of cable entry. For the BNC and RCA connectors, a unique pop-up pin vi
sually confirms a proper termination and contact point.
Three new tools are part of the field-installation solution:
--An ergonomically-designed Compression Tool that features high quality aircraft
-grade materials for increased strength, durability and long service life. This
tool requires less force, so it is easier to use than most. The tool requires no
calibration when changing connector or cable types and, unlike crimp connectors
, there are no additional dies to purchase.
--Two Stripping Tools: one for Standard RG/59U and RG/6U Cable (with a heavy-dut
y spring for stripping quad cable and a built-on Flaring tool for RG/6U Cable) a
nd a lighter spring model for more delicate Mini Coax RGB Cable.
Belden Cable Assemblies:
Belden’s Cable Assemblies provide the maximum in signal quality and performance.
Assembled in a controlled environment to specific factory specifications, Belde
n’s factory-terminated cable assemblies carry a limited lifetime warranty. Belde
n assemblies can be purchased for quick delivery through a single, familiar dist
ribution network.
The standard line of Belden Cable Assemblies includes, in part, the following (s
pecials are available upon request):
--Breakouts

Josh Dixon, Belden’s Vertical Marketing Manager for Security and Safety Products

cially high quality. Use of Belden high performance cables – such as Belden New
