New Products

Broadcast Assemblies
At NAB 2014 and Belden University, Belden generated lots of attention with our newly launched custom broadcast assemblies that includes pre-terminated, custom-length assemblies such as tactical fiber, SMPTE 311M, coax, triax and audio snake cable. Each assembly has its own custom configurator. Click here to download the configurators and the product bulletin or email James Anderson.

Rapid Termination Tool
The new KeyConnect Rapid Termination Tool has been released internally to help prepare you for the external launch on May 14th. Reducing installation time up to 50% for CAT5E and CAT6+ KeyConnect jacks, the new RT Tool terminates and cuts all conductors in one crimp to eliminate re-work. This durable yet no-impact tool is lightweight, ergonomic and easy to use, providing a safer working environment and eliminating the need to use the Termination Station to hold the jacks. Geared towards installers and distribution, key applications for this new product include workstation outlets, consolidation points and modular patch panels.
