“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. Belden 4K UHD Media Cable is the
result of the testing,” says Michael Saber, director of Marketing -
Broadcast AV. “The cable was designed to support HDBaseT 5Play, but it
is interoperable with various equipment brands.”
Belden 4K UHD Media Cables are also up to 25% smaller than other HDBaseT
cabling solutions, such as CAT 7A, saving space in racks, conduit and
cable trays. “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,” Galen Gareis, principle product
engineer explains.
4K UHD Media Cables are manufactured using Belden’s patented Bonded-Pair
technology, known for its superior electrical performance and resistance
to the rigors of AV installation. The cable is rated to withstand 45
pounds of pull tension, much more than the typical 25 pounds of 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. Also, with just an overall shield, installers no longer need to
be concerned about properly grounding individually shielded pairs to a
modular plug which is not designed to accommodate this type of cable
construction.
To further reduce installation time and costs, 4K UHD Media Cables can
be terminated using the Belden REVConnect product line of modular
shielded plugs and jacks eliminating the need to separate the bonded
pairs. Combining REVConnect with the 2183 cable is proven to increase
first pass yields and reduce the potential for rework. Most importantly,
REVConnect provides assurance to the installer that the termination is
made properly and is reliable for accurate 4K HDBaseT transmission.
