All Belden products are designed and manufactured to the strictest quality standards in the industry, resulting in an incomparable reputation for worldwide reliability.

Perhaps no other market segment values cable performance as highly as this one - and we're sure that it's because the 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.

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.
Belden’s answer to this challenge is a line of low voltage, electronic cables that provide the selection, imagination, technical expertise and quality required to meet the demands of increasingly complex sound and security systems. We call this line New Generation.

Unmatched Selection, Quality and Service

Our New Generation line is representative of the largest, most economical, and up-to-date selections of reliable multi-conductor and coaxial products on the market today — a full complement of cables for sound, control, computer interconnect, alarm, security, CCTV, Circuit Integrity and other security applications.  And behind each cable is years of research and development and Belden’s unequaled reputation for quality and service. 
Easy-to-Install Cables
With Belden® New Generation cable products, you can be assured that you’re getting the most innovative and advanced cables available today – plus, our cables not only work better, but they are better to work with.  Installer-friendly features include:

• Sequential footage markings on the cable jacket quickly eliminate guesswork and waste.
• The cables are predominantly NEC Riser-rated (CMR and FPLR) or above to meet even unusually stringent application conditions.  All Belden CM, CMR and CMP types are both UL and C9UL) approved.
• A rip cord underneath the jacket provides for easy removal at installation.
• Easy set-up and easy-pulling, space-saving, tangle-free coil packages available for many codes.  These revolutionary coil packages vastly reduce job clean-up and waste removal as well.
• Water-blocked options for multi-conductor cables and for coax – where security, surveillance and fire alarm cables are installed in intermittently wet environments.

The HomeChoice line also includes over 20 different composite cables.  Composite cables simplify a multiple use installation by combining Belden data cables, coaxial cables, paired and multi-conductor cables and fiber optic cables in a single-pull product.

A Real Innovation:  HomeChoice Banana Peel® Composite Cables

Belden HomeChoice 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.
