Access Control Composite Cables:

A cost-effective security solution for access control systems, Belden Access Control Composite Cables offer labor-saving and easy-identification features that bring a whole new level of ease and convenience to the jobsite.

Features:

• Patented Banana Peel® construction affixes the individual cables to a center spline, eliminating the need for an overall jacket.
• The individual cable components are color coded by application and have the application printed on the jackets.
• All jackets have rip cords for easy removal.
  
  

Benefits:

• Decrease installation costs by eliminating bundling procedures and the need to pull individual cables. Studies have shown that labor savings can exceed 31% with Banana Peel technology.
• Reduce lead time and minimum order quantities with a large standard offering, including spline, AWG and shielding options.
• Eliminate guesswork and reduce waste with sequential footage markings that tell installers how much cable is left on the reel.
• Reduce installation errors and rework time with color coded cables that allow for easy and instant application identification.
• The Banana Peel composite has a 9% smaller OD. This improves bend radius by 11%, allowing for faster, easier installation. Smaller conduits can also be used.
• Breakout versatility is assured since the individual cables can be connected to the junction box or can be rerouted to the point of termination.
• Belden ensures quality backed by a 10-year product warranty
