Belden IBDN FiberExpress® Campus and In-Building Backbone Systems
Belden’s vast experience in fiber technology has enabled the design of reliable backbone systems for both large and small campuses, as well as for indoor and outdoor environments or a mix of both. Belden and its network of Certified System Vendors (CSVs) can provide the capacity and topology planning required to help you make the best and more cost-effective choices for your optical fiber backbone system.
In today’s environment, cabling network backbones are typically designed using a combination of both multimode and single-mode fiber cables. Configuring the right fiber backbone for your unique premise or campus application is a complex process. Fortunately, selecting the right fiber backbone cabling solution is comparatively easy when you specify Belden FiberExpress Systems.
