Belden's Digital Audio Cables, Available From Maser

Available from Maser Communications, one of Belden's leading Specialised Distributors and DNA Partners for the supply of Belden's extensive range of cables to the Broadcast and Pro-Audio/Video markets in the UK and Ireland, the Belden Brilliance 1353A, a new Cat 5e digital audio single-pair cable, is ideal for use in professional and commercial audio applications.
The 1353A is especially valuable where small size, low weight and high performance are required, and can be used anywhere a traditional analog or digital shielded pair might be employed, even where cabling may experience rough handling and harsh environmental conditions.
Other benefits of this new Cat 5e digital audio single-pair cable include the following:

• Installation Efficiency: Many installers routinely use Category 5e of Category 6 cables for audio applications. But, until now, if you wanted a single cat 5e pair, it was necessary to take a four-pair cable and laboriously separate out a pair. The availability of this new ready-to-use jacketed single pair eliminates those inconvenient steps, saving installation time and improving installation efficiency
• Installable Performance: Belden's patented Bonded-Pair technology provides maximum ruggedness and consistent electrical properties during and after installation. During installation, cables are typically pulled, bent and even kinked. All of these actions can alter the dimensions and physical properties of the cable, degrading its electrical performance. However, the Bonded-Pair design attaches the two wires together (without glue!) for a uniform conductor-to-conductor spacing. This helps the cable withstand the rigors of installation and maintain high performance
• It's Not Just For Digital Use, But Analog Too, And More: As a bonus, the 1353A Single-pair Digital Audio Cable can be used for analog applications as well as digital. As by nature of the products design, Belden Digital Audio Cables have a low capacitance due to their high impedance, making them excellent analog cables.
• Outstanding Construction For Indoor/Outdoor Versatility: This innovative new product's jacket is made of a rugged matte-finish PVC, yet the cable is still highly flexible and very round. Overall, nominal cable diameter is 0.126 in. so the minimum installed bend radius is 1.26 in. The insulation on the pair is polyolefin. Operating temperature range for Belden 1353A is -2020ºC to 60ºC and this cable complies with NEC(UL) CMR (riser) and CEC/(UL) CMG fire ratings.
