Customization Guidelines for Copper and Fiber Solutions
Product Line Managers Kristen Poulos and Dwayne Crawford presented customization guidelines via web conference earlier this week. You can refer to the Copper and Fiber presentations for information on volume requirements for custom constructions, quote time, prototype time and production readiness for various copper and fiber product lines, and more!

Class 1 Speaker Cable
Class 1 Speaker Cable is targeted to stadiums, concert halls, theme parks or any large scale installation where one might find amplifiers of 1kW or greater. At this level of power, installer safety becomes a concern so UL requires that “Class 1 Wiring Shall Be Used.” Only Belden offers Class 1 speaker cable in installer-friendly flexible and waterblocked versions. See the Class 1 Speaker Cable page and click on the "reference guide tab" for more information!
Broadcast Assemblies Update
Belden continues to promote the latest custom length cable assemblies for Broadcast. This line includes SMPTE 311M, Tactical Fiber, Coax, Triax and Audio cables. Recently, Belden’s 4-channel singlemode (B96639) and multimode (B96551) tactical fiber was approved by Neutrik for use with their OpticalCon connector. This approval is expected to open up more opportunities for our TAC fiber with integrators and Neutrik-certified assembly houses. 2-channel and 12-channel fiber will be tested and certified in late Q3. To download the capabilities bulletin or to subscribe to the configurators, view the Custom Broadcast Assemblies page and click on the "reference guide tab" for more information.
