BELDEN® BRILLIANCE® TACTICAL FIBER OPTIC CABLES ARE IDEAL FOR MOBILE, DIGITAL TRANSMISSIONS AND A VARIETY OF MINING AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

RICHMOND, IN – Belden, a world leader in the development of signal transmission solutions for wired and wireless enterprise networks, as well as broadcast/entertainment, industrial, building management and residential markets, announces the launch of its newly redesigned Brilliance Tactical Fiber Optic cables. The cables have been redesigned to provide for maximum performance in rigorous outdoor applications.

Easily transportable in mobile trucks, the small, lightweight tactical fiber optic cables offer a rugged, yet flexible, construction that makes them ideal for use in:

• ENG (electronic news gathering) vehicles

• Outdoor sports and other public events

• Digital camera transmission

• Military and other mobile and re-deployable communications systems

• A variety of mining and industrial applications

Designed to military standards, Belden Tactical Fiber Optic cables are ruggedly constructed to ensure maximum performance and reliability over a broad range of outdoor temperatures and weather conditions. The single-mode, tight buffered cables feature an aramid yarn strength member and exceptionally tough, sunlight-resistant polyurethane outer jacket. This makes them highly resistant to environmental conditions, as well as to abrasion, crushing and cut-through. In addition, the cables have a smaller bend radius for improved flexibility and resiliency (cable memory).

For installers, Belden Tactical Fiber Optic cables’ smaller, lighter and more flexible design means field deployment and retrieval can be accomplished with far less effort and fewer challenges than with traditional tactical cables. In addition to occupying less space and adding less weight in mobile communications vehicles, the new cables are reusable – they can be deployed repeatedly, while still delivering the quality performance required by the broadcast industry.

Belden offers its Brilliance Tactical Fiber Optic cables in five standard product codes, with up to 12 fibers and a variety of special options to meet an array of application requirements. These options include: fiber count and type, jacket color and material. The cables are fully compatible with all optical fiber connector options.
