BELDEN® NEW GENERATION® CCTV/PTZ CABLE LINE IS EXTENDED

March 22, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Belden has added more Banana Peel® Composite Cables–in addition to Siamese UTP, Round UTP and Fiber Plus Copper Composite Cables–to its CCTV/Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Camera Cable line.

RICHMOND, IN – Belden, a world leader in the development of signal transmission solutions for wired and wireless enterprise networks, as well as broadcast/entertainment, industrial, residential and security (building management) applications, now offers a wide range of innovative new cables for pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras used in closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance systems. Most recently added are:

• PTZ Banana-Peel composites with coax based video, and 14 AWG Power conductors, to drive heaters and motors at a greater distance

• CCTV composites for Fiber Optic based video, plus copper power conductors to drive camera heaters and/or pan &tilt motors. These cables are round, overjacketed styles with either 18 AWG copper or 14 AWG copper.

These cables are ideal for security applications in hospitals, airports, amusement parks, retail establishments, universities, casinos, sports stadiums and correctional facilities – wherever there is a need for a protective CCTV surveillance installation to monitor people, activities and/or assets.

The complete New Generation Banana Peel PTZ cables now include plenum-and riser-rated composites with (1) RG-59/U coax cable for video, STP or UTP cables for control and 2-conductor cable for power applications. Since these cables are composites, they eliminate the need for pulling individual video, power and control cables – a real time/labor-savings for the installer. But these composite cables offer even more: they feature Belden’s revolutionary Banana Peel design. In the Banana Peel design, the individual, color-coded cables are affixed to a center spline, thus eliminating the need for an overall jacket. This jacketless design, with each individual cable instantly identifiable, speeds and simplifies installation. Installers simply peel off the required cable component and it’s ready for termination.

The new plenum- and riser-rated Category 5e Siamese constructions consist of 2- or 4-pair UTPs plus 2 conductors. The CMR-rated Fiber Plus Copper composites consist of (2) Tight Buffer Multimode Grade 2 fibers and (2) Copper Power conductors.

Belden also offers a wide range of New Generation cables for pan/tilt/zoom camera applications that meet all your installation needs – whether large or small in scope – in both plenum-rated and non-plenum versions. An exceptional line of single coaxes, coaxial/twisted pair composites and unshielded multi-conductor constructions is also available for fixed camera applications.
