4K cables
Belden Inc has launched its new 4K ultra-
high-definition (UHD) media cables, 2183P
(plenum) and 2183R (riser).
The cables are specifically designed to
deliver 4K content over HDBaseT up to
100m.
“Belden conducted extensive HDBaseT
testing in its Belden Engineering center
to better understand which cable
characteristics best support the higher
bandwidth needs of 4K video,” said
Michael Saber, director of marketing —
broadcast AV. “The cable was designed to
support HDBaseT 5Play, but it is interoperable
with various equipment brands.”
Space-saving Belden 4K UHD cables are up
to 25 percent smaller than other HDBaseT
cabling solutions, and “Built with a durable,
corrugated foil shield and a helical drain,
the 4K UHD media product family is
extremely flexible, and designed to be
installer-friendly,” added Galen Gareis,
principal product engineer.
4K UHD cables use Belden’s bonded-pair
technology for electrical performance and
resistance to the rigors of AV installation.
The cable is rated to withstand 45
pounds of pull tension, compared to a
typical 25 pounds for similar networking
cables. The single overall foil shield
provides 100 percent protection from
noise interference and saves significant
termination time, eliminating the need to
terminate individually shielded pairs or a
braid.
The media cables can be terminated
using the Belden REVConnect modular
shielded plugs and jacks, and combining
REVConnect with the 2183 cable is proven
to increase first pass yields and reduce the
potential for rework. REVConnect assures
the installer that the termination is properly
made and reliable.
Stainless specialists
Alloy Wire, a manufacturer of round, flat,
shaped and profile wire, has reported a
major increase in demand for high quality
European or DFARS compliant stainless
steel.
Alloy Wire International (AWI) has received
new orders from clients in aerospace,
nuclear, marine, petrochemical and spring
makers, with many citing the firm’s product
quality, and ability to deliver anywhere in
the world within a few weeks, as crucial to
their purchasing decisions.
“Stainless steel is very special to us,”
explained Natalie Baker, sales executive at
AWI. “We produce an extensive range of
grades, from stainless steel 302 to Duplex
stainless steel, and our expansive stock
levels mean we can provide it in any
quantity from ¼kg to 50kg in just two weeks.
“Our manufacturing capability is equally
impressive, and we are more than happy
to produce wire as small as 0.025mm (that’s
two times smaller than a human hair) and
as large as 21mm.”
AWI is AS9100 aerospace and defense
accredited.
