Belden Access Control Composite
cables enable more cost-effective security
installations, since they offer the installers
of access control doors a host of labor-saving
and easy-identification features. Whether
your installation takes place in a commercial
building, a hospital, school, corporate site
or government facility, Belden Access Control
cables bring a whole new level of ease and
convenience to the work site.
　

Features and Benefits

In general, the use of composite cables
will decrease your labor costs since they
are easier and quicker to install than the
more labor-intensive procedure of bundling
and pulling individual cables.
　

Belden now offers a new jacketed
multi-conductor/multi-pair composite
(see Part No. 658AFJ ) and a number of
Banana Peel® composites. Banana Peel
cables go a step further by being both
easier and faster to install than traditional
jacketed composite cables.
　

Belden Access Control Banana Peel
Composites feature a patented design that
affixes the individual cables to a center
spline, eliminating the need for an overall
jacket. Without the overall jacket:
　

• A whole step in the termination
process is eliminated.
• The individual cable components are all
instantly identifiable, they are color-coded
by application, they have the application
printed on the individual jackets, and they
are ready for termination.
• The Banana Peel composite has a smaller
OD than traditional composites. This
improves the cable's overall bend radius for
faster, easier installation. A smaller OD also
means a smaller size conduit.
• Breakout versatility is assured since
the individual cables can be connected
to the junction box or can be rerouted
to the point of termination.
• Experience and studies have shown
installing one cable instead of four saves
time and money. In one Belden-sponsored
study involving Belden unjacketed Banana
Peel Composites, the savings equalled or
exceeded 31% for labor and 14% in
end-user costs.
