Component video cables go further
Brilliance Banana Peel Hi-Res component video cables are designed for higher frequency, longer distance transmissions.
Coaxial cables meet new broadcast standards
SDI coaxial cables are now specified for operation at 4.5GHz, with every reel being sweep tested for return loss and certified to the new, higher frequency.
Thanks to their Banana Peel construction, the new composite cables will reduce labor costs because the overall jacket has been eliminated.
Without the outer jacket, an entire step in the installation process has been eliminated and all of the cables are instantly identifiable since the cables are colour-coded and have clearly readable print legends.
Installers simply peel the individual cables off the centre spline and they are ready to terminate.

Cat 5e audio cables promise top performance
Brilliance CatSnake tactical field-deployable Category 5e audio/video cables are designed for use in patching Ethernet or other Cat 5e digital audio/video formats.
In addition, with no overall jacket, the cables have a smaller OD and an improved bend radius, making it possible to use a smaller sise conduit.
Belden's 1855A and 1505A Banana Peel Precision Video Snake cables are available in bundles of three, five and six.
1855A is the SDI and HDTV standard for Mini RG-59/U Type cable; 1505A is the SDI and HDTV standard for RG-59/U Type.
These CMR-rated cables are also pretimed to ensure a delay difference of less than 5.0ns/100ft between coaxes, allowing for "cut-and-connect" installation with no TDR or Vectorscope timing required.
The new Banana Peel composite video cables are ideal for use in demanding A/V applications, including: serial digital video (SDI), component video, unbalance mode analogue or digital audio (AES/EBU), computer CAD/CAM, high-end computer graphics and animation and live video production in the studio or in the field.
The cables are also well suited to a host of commercial A/V applications, such as high-resolution monitors and projection imaging in corporate boardrooms, command and control centres, teleconferencing centres, performance venues, post-production facilities, auditoriums, houses of worship, and high-end home theatre systems.
The new Banana Peel coaxial cables are 100% sweep tested to 4.5GHz to cover the third harmonic frequency of 1080p and to ensure best-in-class return loss performance.
Belden is the only cable manufacturer that has extended its testing to 4.5GHz, assuring broadcasters and leading-edge broadcast equipment manufacturers of high performance and reliability as they migrate from the existing 1080i (interlaced) HD format to the emerging 1080p (progressive) format.
In the 1080i format, the image resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixel, sent at 60 interlaced frames per second.
In the 1080p format, the image resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, sent at 60 complete frames per second.
Thus, in the interlaced format, only half the image updates every sixtieth of a second, whereas, in the higher frequency progressive format, the entire image updates every sixtieth of a second, resulting in a picture that is crisper and clearer, with better image quality and definition - especially when objects in the picture are in motion.
