7 Siamese Coaxial Cable Available with either dual coaxial cables or coaxial cable with a twisted pair and also in a plenum-rated design for installation in a drop ceiling or a raised floor. These cables are easier to install than standard coaxial cables and are ideal for dual Direct Broadcast System (DBS) applications where one dish is used to serve two receivers. They also are critical for satellite hookup where a powered-pair cable is desired. Other applications for these coaxial cables include sound and security surveillance cameras where the coaxial cable transmits the audio/video signal and the twisted pair is used to control the pan and tilt function of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera. In today s uncertain world, security installations are occurring at a double-digit growth rate. Security cameras are being installed in virtually every office, school and government facility, on highways and in traffic control centers and in most industrial, commercial and manufacturing facilities.

8 Composite Access Control Cable Belden s Banana Peel Cables Help Ensure Limited Access Into a Secure Area Banana Peel cables offer the installers of access control devices - including electronic identification equipment such as card readers, retina scanners and hand-scanning devices - a host of labor-saving and easy-identification features. Whether the installation takes place in a commercial building, hospital, school, corporate site or government facility, these control cables bring a whole new level of ease and convenience to the work site. Features & Benefits: Available in both jacketed and jacketless configurations Banana Peel jacketless cables eliminate a step in the process because there is no overall jacket to strip Smaller O.D. than traditional composites, improving the cable s overall bend radius for faster, easier installation Breakout versatility is certain since the individual cables can be connected to the junction box or re-routed to the application site Call for a specification sheet. Short circuits, caused by contact with the center conductor while stripping off the outer jacket, can be prevented The individual cables are color-coded by application for easy identification, minimizing termination problems due to incorrect choice of cable Cables have the application printed on the individual cable components: Lock Power, Card Reader, Door Contact and Request Exit (Rex/Spare) ensuring correct cable choice The individual cable jackets are sequentially marked at 2' intervals and the cables are available in 1,000'/305m put-ups Sample configurations: Riser and Plenum (ed) 558AFJ - Riser-rated (Plenum also available) NEC 800, Type CMR CEC Type CMG FT4 3 shielded multi-conductors, 1 shielded multi-pair PVC Standard - Riser and Plenum 558AFS - Riser-rated (Plenum also available) NEC 800, Type CMR CEC Type CMG FT4 3 shielded multi-conductors, 1 shielded multi-pair PVC s PVC (components and overall) PVC (components only) Type 2 - Riser and Plenum 558GMS - Riser-rated (Plenum also available) NEC 800, Type CMR CEC Type CMG FT4 Flamarrest 3 unshielded multi-conductors, 1 shielded multi-conductor PVC (components only) Exit Reader Type - Riser and Plenum 558GFS - Riser-rated (Plenum also available) NEC 800, Type CMR CEC Type CMG FT4 Flamarrest 2 shielded multi-conductors, 2 shielded multi-pairs PVC (components only) 8

13 CI 2-Hour Fire-Rated Survivability Achieved With Code-Recognized Cable and Installation Practices Qualified to UL Standard for Tests for Fire Resistive Cables which includes a two-hour fire exposure (accepted as representing an intense, fully-developed fire within a building), water exposure and several electrical tests and monitoring to assure its circuit integrity performance. All of this in a robust, non-armored fire alarm cable that is flexible, easy to install and requires no special procedures to meet code requirements. Features & Benefits Recognized two-hour fire-rating UL Listed as Type FPLR-CI Considerable economic savings over other recognized fire rating methods No special procedures to meet code requirements Robust, flexible construction provides ease of installation Lowest available capacitance rating of any standard fire alarm cable Performance Meets National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) requirements for survivability UL Standard 1424 Cables for Power-Limited Fire Alarm Circuits UL Standard 2196 Standard for Tests for Fire Resistive Cables UL Standard 1666 Test for flame propagation height of electrical... cables installed vertically in shafts Unshielded UL Listing: NEC Type FPLR-CI Copper Size STRAND Overall Nominal Diameter Capacitance inch mm lbs/m-ft kg/km pf/ft pf/m DC Resistance (ohms/m-ft) 18 - solid solid solid solid solid solid str str str str Sound, Security, Alarm Shielded Overall UL Listing: NEC Type FPLR-CI Copper Size STRAND Overall Nominal Diameter Capacitance inch mm lbs/m-ft kg/km pf/ft pf/m DC Resistance (ohms/m-ft) 18 - solid solid solid solid solid solid str str str str Acme 25A or 75A 721 Multi-Wire 13

14 CIC 2-Hour Fire-Rated Maintain Circuit Integrity and Physical Protection with a Simple, In-Conduit Solution A cost-effective means of providing survivability as required by the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). Additionally, it can dramatically increase the reliability of any fire alarm system when it needs it the most (i.e. system is under attack by fire and water). Flexible and easy to install without the need for any special tools, hardware or instructions. Another benefit of the fire-rated construction is extremely low-capacitance, improving system performance and eliminating the need for special mid-cap cables. Features & Benefits Recognized two-hour fire-rating when installed in common 1/2" (or larger) EMT conduit Maximum physical protection is provided by conduit installation Considerable economic savings over other recognized fire-rating methods Lowest available capacitance rating of any standard fire alarm cable (see data table below) Performance Sound, Security, Alarm Acme 25A or 75A 721 Multi-Wire Meets National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) requirements for survivability Classified two-hour fire-rating per UL Standard for Tests for Fire Resistive Cables, UL 2196, with exposure up to 1,850 F, immediate application of water and maintenance of full utilization voltage and electrical load throughout the test UL Listed as NEC Type FPL Fire Alarm Cable per UL Standard #1424 and UL Listed as NEC Type NPLF per UL Standard #1425 Electrical Circuit Protective System (FHIT) #24 of the UL Fire Resistance Directory Unshielded Dual UL Listing: NEC Type FPLR-CIC and NEC Type NPLF Copper Size STRAND Shielded Overall Dual UL Listing: NEC Type FPLR-CIC and NEC Type NPLF Copper Size STRAND Nominal Overall Diameter Capacitance inch mm lbs/m-ft kg/km pf/ft pf/m Nominal Overall Diameter Capacitance inch mm lbs/m-ft kg/km pf/ft pf/m DC Resistance (ohms/m-ft) 8 - solid solid solid solid solid solid Strand sizes 14 and 12 also available.
