As the demand for sophisticated multimedia
systems continues to grow, so too does the need
for easier-to-install composite Audio/Video
Projector cables. Installers are frequently called
upon to run inter-room cabling to support highperformance
A/V communications systems in
schools, universities, municipal buildings, houses
of worship and commercial office spaces.
　

To meet market demand, Belden introduces its
Banana Peel® Projector Cables, an innovative
design combining both audio and video cable
components within a single composite cable.
Designed for use in modern, high-tech buildings,
Banana Peel Projector Cables are extremely flexible
and easy to handle, enabling installers to save
time and labor by running multiple A/V cables
simultaneously from room-to-room, where similarly
equipped wall plates are desired in each room.
　

Within the composite Projector Cables, the video
components include six Belden RG-59 type 75 Ohm
Precision Video Mini Coax Cables (Product No.
1281R-Riser and 1282P-Plenum) for analog and
digital video. Audio components include two
Belden 22 AWG Shielded Twisted Pair Audio Cables
featuring aluminum foil-bonded jackets for easy
access to the positive, negative and shield
drain wires.

Banana Peel Construction
Means Faster Installation

Unlike conventional projector cables with
overall jackets which are difficult to handle and
add to the cables’ fuel load, the new Projector
Cables feature Belden’s exclusive Banana Peel
construction. In this design, individual cables
are affixed to a central spline and are simply
peeled off as needed for termination, making
installation much faster and easier.
　

The Banana Peel construction also enables
easier break-out of cables when the full bundle
of eight components needs to be divided to
run two smaller bundles to separate wall plates.
Belden’s coax cables offer true 75 Ohm impedance,
are sweep-tested, and come with Return Loss
assurance. In addition, the elimination of the
outer jacket reduces the cables’ total fuel load,
making the Belden Projector Cables more
suitable for in-wall and plenum use.
