Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global supplier of network infrastructure and digitization solutions, is thrilled to announce that six of its products were recognized as Gold Honorees as part of the 2024 Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards program.
1. Indoor/Outdoor Plenum Stadium Cables & Connectivity
Designed to be used in outdoor, below-grade conduit and aerial applications, Belden’s Indoor/Outdoor Plenum Stadium Cables were made specifically for sports venues. With a CMP rating for indoor air-handling spaces, they can be installed anywhere without demarcation. The same type of cable can run between indoor and outdoor environments, from the broadcast truck to the camera. This makes installation faster and supports easier specification.
2. FX ECX Wall-Mount Fiber Enclosure
The FX ECX Wall-Mount Fiber Enclosure lets installers take advantage of free real estate when rack-mount systems don’t fit. The patch panel hosts up to 192 connections in a compact wall space, bringing fiber closer to users and devices without taking up square footage. Owners can now host fiber connections in areas that weren’t originally designed to support fiber networks. Recessed mounting holes allow easy mounting; removable, swing-out cassette rail assemblies provide easy port access and allow technicians to move modules to a more comfortable workspace.
3. DuetConnect Hybrid Termination Box
This stackable termination box enables easy, clean, efficient termination of hybrid cables while keeping copper and fiber separated within a single box to ensure proper performance. The DuetConnect Hybrid Termination Box makes termination faster, eliminates rework, supports fast scalability and more density, and acts as a termination point to bring power to new places.
4. RemoteIP Cables
RemoteIP Cables solve problems in environments where Category cabling falls short. The cables supply data and power to remote IP devices up to 215 m away, reducing costs and optimizing space by eliminating the need for new telecommunications rooms, media converters or extenders. They work with any device or switch that follows IEEE application standards, including IP cameras, building sensors and PoE LED lighting fixtures.
5. Enhancing Patient Experiences Showcase
The Enhancing Patient Experiences showcase—part of Belden’s Chicago Customer Innovation Center—is an immersive reimagination of healthcare that takes industry professionals into the future. Visitors get to see firsthand how integrated technology and converged networks improve the outcomes of specific healthcare scenarios, such as patient consultation, combatant patients and code blue. This showcase gives healthcare leaders an inside look at the impact of a smart, connected healthcare environment on patient satisfaction, facility operations and staff engagement and retention.
6. OptiTuff Connectivity & Cable Management
Field-termination connectivity for OptiTuff Mini Fiber Cables gives installers new options for fast, easy installation plus compatibility with popular FX Fusion Splice-On Connector and FX ECX Patch Panel Systems. Installers can now utilize OptiTuff across a wider range of fiber applications while maintaining fast, easy installation and improving cable management.
The Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards program, managed by Cabling Installation & Maintenance magazine, reviews and recognizes the most innovative applications of cabling and communications technology products and systems within the structured cabling industry. Honorees were recognized at BICSI’s 2024 Fall Conference on Sept. 16, 2024, in Las Vegas.
