New Product Bulletin NP 258 Brilliance(R) Banana Peel Precision Video Snake Cables New Banana Peel Composite cable constructions now feature three of Belden's most popular SDI/HD coaxes: 1855A,1505A and 1694A. This gives you outstanding digital video performance using multiple coaxes in a single pull. Belden Brilliance Banana Peel Precision Video Snake Cable Line Expands to Include a 1694A Composite Construction Belden recently introduced Banana Peel versions of its highly popular 1855A and 1505A cables, and now includes a Banana Peel construction of the industry's standard: 1694A These digital video cables are ideal for use in the most demanding applications, including serial digital video, component video, unbalance mode analog or digital audio (AES/EBU), computer CAD/CAM, high-end computer graphics and animation, and live studio, field and mobile television broadcasting. The new cables can also be used for high-resolution monitors and projection imaging in corporate boardrooms, command and control centers, auditoriums, teleconferencing centers, home theaters, performance venues, post-production facilities and houses of worship. 1855A, 1505A and 1694A Banana Peel constructions are available in bundles of 3, 5 and 6. All cables are pre-timed to ensure a delay difference of less than 5.0ns/100 feet between coaxes, allowing for "cut-and-connect" installation with no TDR or Vectorscope timing required. The result is a dramatic reduction in installation time, expense and complexity. Further reductions in the cables' installation time/complexity are offered by means of their unique Banana Peel construction. Banana Peel Means Labor Savings, Easy Identification Banana Peel Precision Video Snake cables will decrease your labor costs because the overall jacket has been eliminated. Without the outer jacket, a whole step in the termination process has been eliminated, plus the individual cable components are all instantly identifiable (the individual cables are color-coded and the print legends are immediately visible). To terminate the cables just peel the individual cables off the center spline and terminate. With no overall jacket the composite has a smaller OD, especially considering the OD of similarly bundled cables. The cable's bend radius also is improved, making it possible to use a smaller size conduit. Exceptional Return Loss Characteristics, Sweep Tested to 4.5 GHz To ensure best-in-class Return Loss performance, these cables are 100% sweep tested to 4.5 GHz. Belden is the only cable manufacturer that has extended its testing to 4.5 GHz, assuring broadcasters and leading-edge broadcast equipment manufacturers of high performance and reliability as they migrate from the existing 1080i (interlaced) HD format to the emerging 1080p (progressive) format.
