Private yacht building is on the rise and cruise
ships continue to thrive. Yacht builders and
commercial cruise lines recognize that offering
customers the same audio/video quality at sea
as they experience on land can be a competitive
advantage. In addition, a reliable, highperformance
A/V cabling system enhances
shipboard safety and communications.
　

Belden is currently the only cable manufacturer
to offer a complete series of audio, video and
multimedia cables approved by the American
Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for use in
demanding marine applications –
Belden Shipboard A/V cables.
Recently the company added several
additional products to its line of LSZH
cables for shipboard use.
　

Setting the Global Standard of Excellence
For decades, the Belden Brilliance® brand has
set the global standard for innovation in the
development and manufacture of professional
quality broadcast, audio, video, multimedia
and control cables.
　

The new series of Belden Shipboard cables
continues that proud tradition. Some of the
advantages of installing Belden Shipboard
cables include:
　

• Independent, third-party approval by the ABS.
The American Bureau of Shipping is the
leading international classification society
devoted to promoting the security of life,
property and the marine environment
through the development and verification of
standards for the design, construction and
operational maintenance of marine-related
facilities. With ABS approval, no additional
special approvals or insurance company
exceptions are required for Belden A/V cable
system installations.
　

• Full compliance with industry and global
environmental standards. Belden's new line
of Shipboard cables comply with industry
standards IEEE 45, and applicable sections
of IEC 60092-376 for low smoke and zero
halogen. Because of the global nature of
the marine industry, the cables are designed
and manufactured in compliance with the
European Union RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC,
27-Jan-2003) governing the Reduction
of Hazardous Substances in electrical and
electronic equipment.
　

• Delivery of highest quality A/V experience to
buyers of private yachts and passengers and
crew on commercial ships.
　

• Fast, easy installation using standard
connectors, with no special installation
techniques or equipment required.
　

• Exclusive and unmatched Belden
10-year Warranty.
