Cables Principally for the OEM Market, with Many Uses
This market category is a bit of a catch-all, reflecting an array of products that generally pertain to the OEM market. Cables types include:
- Hook-up and lead wire
- Flat cable
- Low loss 50-Ohm coaxial cables
- Molded cable assemblies
- Outdoor-rated shielded twisted pairs
- Portable cordage
Our Hook-up and Lead Wire products are manufactured in-house to assure consistent quality and are available in a variety of materials, sizes and designs to meet rigid industry and government specifications. These products are used for the interconnection of circuits, the internal wiring of computers and data processing equipment, appliances, lighting, motor leads, heating and cooling equipment, harness fabrication and automotive applications. Wiring intended for use in appliances and equipment is recognized and labeled with Underwriters Laboratories’ Appliance Wiring Material Label (AWM).
Belden’s Flat Cables are designed using the same expertise and design sophistication that made Belden® the leader in round cable. Our extensive line includes Gray Ribbon, Rainbow, Vari-Twist® and Shielded and Jacketed Flat cable options. Flat cable is primarily used for the internal interconnection of electronic equipment.
Belden Low Loss 50-Ohm Radio Frequency Coaxial cables (RF500 and RF 600) are ideal for use as antenna jumper cable assemblies and short wireless communications systems such as Wireless Local Loop (WLL), Land Mobile Radio (LMR®), PCS and cellular. They can also be used in (in-building) wireless applicaions (WLANS/Wi-Fi).
Belden Molded Cable Assemblies are designed for reliable performance in a variety of input/output (I/O) and keyboard interface applications. For standard assemblies, Belden uses three standard cable configurations: general purpose unshielded, general purpose shielded, and super shielded (with a foil plus braid shield for areas of moderate-to-heavy noise/interference). Semi-custom or custom assemblies are also available.
Belden's Shielded Twisted Pair Cables meet/exceed all industry standards and outdoor requirements for Wi-Fi tower transmissions – even in high RF environments. They are also easily terminated on standard RJ-45 connectors.
Our Portable Cordage products are available in a wide assortment of styles, lengths, and thicknesses. Products offered include 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-conductor styles, as well as multi-conductor constructions. Jacket options include PVC, rubber, oil-resistant rubber and Belflex®. Belflex is a premium PVC jacket compound (Class 43) that is superior to standard PVC for flexibility and durability. Belden portable cordage is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL); some cords are also certified to CSA Standards.
