BELDEN BRILLIANCE® CATSNAKE® HEAVY DUTY CAT 5E UTP CABLES ARE FIELD-DEPLOYABLE, OFFER PORTABLE PERFORMANCE—INDOORS OR OUT
Belden® is a world leader in the development of specialty cable products for A/V, broadcast and entertainment applications, introduces Brilliance® CatSnake® tactical field-deployable Category 5e audio/video cables designed for use in patching Ethernet or other Cat 5e digital audio/video formats. The new Cat 5e UTP cables are AES/EBU-compliant and feature an extremely rugged construction, utilizing Belden's patented Bonded-Pair design, which makes them ideal for indoor broadcast applications in high traffic areas, as well as tactical, field-deployable for use out-of-doors and in broadcast truck applications.

Brilliance CatSnake UTP cables - Product Nos. 1304A and 1305A - feature Bonded-Pair unshielded twisted pairs (UTPs) with 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and polyolefin insulation. To further ensure the durability, portability and re-usability of CatSnake UTP cables, Belden has a heavy jacket wall version for medium duty use (Product No. 1304A) or an upjacketed version for the harshest heavy duty applications (Product No. 1305A). And, to increase their flexibility, the cables offer stranded (7x32) conductors and matte-finished Belflex® jackets. Both cables pass the -40°C Cold Bend test per UL 1381.

Bonded-Pair UTP Design Delivers SuperiorInstallable Performance®
The consistency of any UTP cable can determine its transmission distance.  Physical characteristics such as the cable's conductor-to-conductor relationship along the full length of the cable can affect how far a signal can be carried at a given frequency without excessive attenuation due to return loss.  CatSnake UTP Cat 5e Audio cables maintain their impedance and superior Return Loss performance when flexed and handled in rugged environments because Belden's patented Bonded-Pair design bonds the insulated conductors together, thus maintaining consistent conductor-to-conductor spacing along the entire longitudinal axis, with no gaps to create impedance changes.  Belden calls this reliable after-installation performance Installable and Portable Performance.
