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 HomeChoice voice, video, security and data communications cables are second to none.
High Performance, Easy-to-Install Cables
Individual, or single application cables, are available for any data, video, audio or security need, including:
- Category 5e, Category 6 UTP and fiber data cables for multimedia, voice, video and data use
- Series 6 and Series 59 video coax cables for HDTV, DBS, CATV, SVHS, CCTV and cable modem applications
- Speaker cables for audio distribution
- Paired, unshielded cables for security and alarm applications
- HDMI Cable assemblies for high definition audio and video
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.
