Belden offers a wide range of cables for pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras used in closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance systems.

The complete New Generation Banana Peel PTZ cables now include plenum-and riser-rated composites with (1) RG-59/U coax cable for video, STP or UTP cables for control and two-conductor cable for power applications.

As these cables are composites, they eliminate the need for pulling individual video, power and control cables - a real time/labour-savings for the installer.

But these composite cables offer even more: they feature Belden's revolutionary Banana Peel design.

In the Banana Peel design, the individual, colour-coded cables are affixed to a centre spline, thus eliminating the need for an overall jacket.

This jacketless design, with each individual cable instantly identifiable, speeds and simplifies installation.

Installers simply peel off the required cable component and it's ready for termination.

The new plenum- and riser-rated Category 5e Siamese constructions consist of two- or four-pair UTPs plus two conductors.

The CMR-rated fibre Plus Copper composites consist of two tight buffer multimode Grade 2 fibres and two copper power conductors.

Belden also offers a wide range of New Generation cables for pan/tilt/zoom camera applications that meet all installation needs - whether large or small in scope - in both plenum-rated and nonplenum versions.

An exceptional line of single coaxes, coaxial/twisted pair composites and unshielded multiconductor constructions is also available for fixed camera applications.
