Belden announced the launch of its outdoor and direct burial analog audio, plenum jacketed and plenum Banana Peel snake cable lines.

It was revealed in a release that the new Brilliance Audio Snake Cables feature a robust construction which also has superior flexibility making it highly suitable for indoor and outdoor environmental conditions.

Belden, specializing in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, provides the Brilliance Audio Snake Cables for in-the-field and permanent installation to connect multiple channels in low-level (microphone) and high-level componentry.

The applications where they can be used include console board equipment for recording, post production and sound system installations, said officials.

Most useful where ruggedness is imperative, the product line includes three cable series, namely waterblocked, plenum, and Banana Peel constructions. Featuring various benefits the cable series sports a foil shield that is bonded to the jacket. This construction enables them to maintain high performance with the ease of termination.

The waterblocked product series, used in direct burial and suitable for outdoor installations, features six standard product codes with constructions ranging from 1 to 12 pairs. This makes the product more advantageous when compared to gel installations.

Belden officials added that the plenum product series offers nine product codes including the recent additions of 4, 6, 8 and 12-pair constructions with an overall jacket. No heat shrink is needed as the pairs are individually jacketed facilitating field termination.

The patented Banana Peel construction offers 2, 4, and 6-pair audio snake cables forming easy-to-install composite cables. The component cables are bundled and affixed to a center spline, so overall jacket is not required. Easy to install, the Banana Peel design needs less effort and time compared to traditional jacketed products.

Belden announced the roll out of the GarrettCom brand’s enhanced IEC (News – Alert) 61850-compatible, substation-hardened managed switches targeted for data-intensive power utility applications such as Smart Grid. The Magnum 10KG Managed Switches offer up to eight Gb ports to support data-intensive Smart Grid applications. Magnum is a trademarked product line of Belden’s GarrettCom (News – Alert) brand.

Want to learn more about the latest in communications and technology? Then be sure to attend ITEXPO East 2012, taking place Jan. 31-Feb. 3 2012, in Miami, FL. ITEXPO (News – Alert) offers an educational program to help corporate decision makers select the right IP-based voice, video, fax and unified communications solutions to improve their operations. It’s also where service providers learn how to profitably roll out the services their subscribers are clamoring for – and where resellers can learn about new growth opportunities.

Thanks to its flexible class 5 conductor, Top Cable’s Powerhard Mâ„¢ RVMV-K & VVMV-K cables make installations substantially easier.
The Powerhard Mâ„¢ RVMV-K & VVMV-K cable, manufactured by Top Cable, has been built according to the IEC reference norms IEC 60502 and UNE 21123-2, with conductors made of electrolytic copper, flexible class 5, based on EN60228, XLPE insulation for RVMV-K or PVC for VVMV-K, PVC armour bedding, galvanised steel wire armour, helically placed over the separation sheath and a flexible black PVC outer sheath.
 
This type of cable is manufactured in a unipolar and multi-conductor version.
The unipolar cables (RVMAV-K type) use aluminium wires to reduce losses due to currents induced in the armour.
 
CLASS 5 FLEXIBLE CONDUCTOR
 Powerhard cables are known for their great flexibility. Due to its flexible class 5 conductor, installation is substantially easier, comparing it to the rigid class 2 conductor type, what makes Powerhard cables highly suitable for difficult layouts. Given their ease of installation and extraordinary mechanical strength, they are the preferred choice of installers.
 
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
 The Powerhard Mâ„¢ RVMV-K & VVMV-K cable is highly versatile. Its minimum service temperature is -15ºC. The maximum temperature of the conductor is 90ºC and 70ºC, respectively. The maximum short-circuit temperature is 250ºC and 160ºC, respectively, for a maximum of 5 seconds. The bending radius is 10 times that of its external diameter.
 
The design of the Powerhard Mâ„¢ RVMV-K & VVMV-K cable makes it particularly suitable for explosion-proof installations, and ensures that a flame or fire will not be spread, that its impact resistance be AG4 (very strong). It is also water resistant AD7 (immersion) and has a good chemical resistance, as well as the possibility of being installed permanently in the open air.
 
STOCK AND CERTIFICATIONS
 In order to facilitate the availability of the product, Top Cable has this cable in immediate stock. For better control, this cable comes marked metre by metre.
 
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that the Powerhard Mâ„¢ RVMV-K & VVMV-K cable complies with the National / European norms UNE-EN 60332-1 / UNE-EN 60332-3 and the International Norm IEC 60332-1 / IEC 60332-3.
 
HIGH PROTECTION CABLE
The design of this cable is particularly suitable for fixed installations subject to possible mechanical aggression.
