Signal Transmission Brochure
Why was it
important to
develop this
brochure?
We hope that
you find this a
valuable sales
tool and that
it helps you in
your cross-selling function.
This document is the first to address the
breadth and depth of Belden's current
offering. The intent of this piece is to aid
you in introducing the "new" Belden
to your customers. While we still hold
strongly to all the Belden principals of
quality products and customer service,
Belden product lines have grown in
scope and now provide signal transmission solutions for a broad spectrum of
customers in an almost endless array of
markets. For previous Belden Electronics customers this tool can be used to
demonstrate that beyond our traditional
copper and optical fiber product lines,
Belden now offers full solutions including
Connectivity, Enclosures and Racks, Cable
Management, Wireless and Power over
Ethernet. For previous Belden Networking customers, this tool demonstrates
that we go beyond the commercial
networking and specialty products and
can support needs in Industrial, A/V, Sound,
Security and more.
What are the features & benefits of the
Solutions Brochure?
The brocure uses graphics of a "cityscape",
to demonstrate the wide range of businesses and organizations for which Beldne
offers solutions. Looking at the city from
above we see that Belden provides solutions for everything from college campuses to cruise ships, from stadiums to studios
and from processing plants to medical
facilities.
To drill down into a few of our traditional
markets, an Office Building, a Broadcast
Studio and an Industrial Plant are crosssectioned to allow the reader to see the
vast list of Belden solutions that can be
used within each type of enterprise. For
example, the Commercial Office Building
on page 6 shows that we have solutions
to support everything from security at the
building entrance, to signal transmission
to and from antennas on the rootftop, and
from cameras in the parking lot, to quality
audio and video in the conference rooms.
No matter where you are in the city, or
building, we show how Belden can offer
the right signal transmission solution to
meet your needs.

1. Mitsubishi CC-Link
What is
Mitsubishi
CC-Link?
This open
fieldbus and
NP261
control network
provides fast data communications with
different devices. CC-Link is an open
network and therefore allows many
third-party products now appearing on
the market with CC-Link connectivity.
The CC-Link network has the capability
to have a standby master which can also
be used as a remote station. http://www.
mitsubishi-automation.com/products/
networks_cc_link.html.
Vertical markets include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, food & beverage,
automotive, pharmaceuticals, material
handling and building automation.
CC-Link is a recognized international standard for sensor/actuator networks (SEMI
E54.12) by the Semiconductor Equipment
Manufacturers Institute.
Why was it important to develop
these products?
The Mitsubishi CC Link data communications requires standardized shielded
twisted-pair cables according to the
CC Link Partnership Association (CLPA)
specifications. These two products were
originally offered as specials, but the
increase in popularity for these cables
allowed us to offer them as standards. It is
important to inform our customers of the
new standard part numbers for ordering
purposes.
What are the features & benefits/
advantages that these products
bring to the market?
Belden is listed as the recommended cable
type in Mitsubishi Electric's Applications
Technical Catalog (PDF): http://mitsubishi-automation-resource-mirror.de/resources/technical/136730.pdf, beginning
on page 23.
These cables are engineered to specifically meet the Mitsubishi CC-Link testing
requirements and are certified. The CCLink certificate is posted on our website.

power
Why was it
important to
develop these
products?
Why was it
important to
develop these
products?
Industrial EngiNP249
neers need
these solutions for their plants. In the
event of a fire, they are faced with shutting
down continuously running processes,
preferably in an orderly, safe and efficient manner -- even through a fire event
where control cables are potentially in the
fire zone.
NP256 motors,
Besides their pan/tilt/zoom
Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras have built-in heaters. The usual 18 AWG power conductors
can not carry the AMPs the full distance
when the cameras are farther than 300400 feet from the recorder or monitor.
For situations requiring these extended
distance cameras, the constructions with a
14 AWG power cable are the solution.
What are the features & benefits/
advantages that these products
bring to the market?
What are the features & benefits/
advantages that these products
bring to the market?
A 14 AWG power leg has lower D resistance and voltage drop than the 18
AWG that are in 500PTZ-5002PTZ.
That means extended power capability,
approximately 500 to 600 feet. Always
consult the camera manufacturer
specifications.
• Like all component cables, the 503PTZ
and 504PTZ allow installers to work with
one cable instead of multiples. That's
one reel instead of three spools or boxes
and just one cable pull. This saves installation and handling labor and makes
a tidy installation.
• Like all Banana Peel composites, these
cables are easy to use and smaller since
there is no overall jacket.
• Because these cables utilize Belden's
patented Banana Peel design with a
unique center spline, they remain in
their bundled configuration throughout
installation and even when cut.
What Markets will this
product serve?
Surveillance / Security system integrators. Usually for cameras located at the far
reaches of larger campuses.

5. Style 2 Access Control Cables
- Style 2
Why was it
important to
develop these
products?
The variety of
NP263
Access Door
functions, devices and installer preferences requires additional cable configurations. A common solution set calls out:
1. An additional spare 22 AWG pair
2. Shielding is not necessary except for the
card reader
3. The card reader need not be paired
These cables serve this frequently requested configuration.
What are the features & benefits/
advantages that these products
bring to the market?
• The additional spare 22 AWG pair is
frequently useful. It has been placed in
the Door Contact component leg. Many
contractors prefer unshielded Lock Power,
Door Contact and Request Exit components and 6/C 22 AWG (rather than 3 TP 22
AWG) Card Reader. This cable simplifies installation for contractors installing access
doors compatible with this solution set.
• The use of this new cable provides a
great savings in labor installation costs.
The primary alternative to using this
cable is to install the 4 cables separately
to address the separate door functions,
which requires 30% (or more) greater
installation labor.
• Installers like the ability to see every
leg of the cable exposed in the Banana
Peel configuration rather than having to
"guess" as to what components are under
a jacket.
What Markets will these
products serve?
Security market for Access Control System
Integrators.

EXIT Reader TYPE
Why was it
important to
develop these products?
The variety of Access Door functions, devices and installer preferences requires additional cable configurations. A common
solution set calls out: Card Read at the Exit
as well as for the Entry. These new cables
serve this frequently requested configuration. There are various other scenarios
for which the Standard configuration is improved by including 2 additional 22 AWG
wires. These cables have those added in to
the Request Exit component.
What are the features & benefits/
advantages that these products
bring to the market?
• The additional spare 22 AWG pair is
frequently useful This has been placed in
the Request Exit component leg. Recall
that "Style 2" also has 2 additional 22 AWG
wires that have been placed in the Door
Contact component.
• The use of this new cable provides a
great savings in labor installation costs.
The primary alternative to using this
cable is to install the 4 cables separately
to address the separate door functions,
which requires 30% (or more) greater

6. 62.5 Micron Multi-Mode Fiber
Optic Video Surveillance + Power
- Non-Stocking Standards
Why was it
important to
develop these
products?
Increasingly, surNP256
veillance video
cameras are using
Optical Fibers for video. The associated
cameras require Power for heaters and/or
control motors for left/right panning. Like
coax surveillance cables, these Fiber Optic
composites put both camera services -Video and Power -- into one cable.
What are the features & benefits/advantages that these products bring
to the market?
Like all composite cables, M98382 and
M98383 allow installers to work with one
cable instead of two. This saves installation and handling labor and makes a tidy
installation. Having a standard to build
around, equipment manufacturers and
system integrators gain familiarity and
confidence with one cable rather than redesigning each new installation.
What Markets will this product
serve?
Surveillance / Security system integrators.
A typical application is for cameras located
at the far reaches of larger campuses.
What are the part numbers and descriptions?
Part No.
