1 BELDEN Expands Its Access Control Banana Peel Composite Cable Line, Offering Cables With Larger Gauge ConductorsBelden Access Control Banana Peel Compositecables enable more cost-effective securityinstallations, since they offer the installers ofaccess control devices including electronicidentification equipment such as card readers,retina scanners and hand-scanning devices a host of labor-saving and easy-identificationfeatures. Whether your installation takesplace in a commercial building, a hospital,school, corporate site or government facility, BELDEN Access Control cables bring a wholenew level of ease and convenience to thework and BenefitsIn general, the use of composite cables willdecrease your labor costs since they are easierand quicker to install than the more labor-intensive procedure of bundling and pullingindividual cables.

2 BELDEN Access ControlBanana Peel Composite cables go a step further by being both easier and faster toinstall than traditional composite other composite cables, BELDEN Access Control cables offer the following:>No overall jacket Banana Peel cables feature a patent-pending design that affixesthe individual cables to a center spline,eliminating the need for an overall jacket.>The absence of the overall jacket eliminatesa whole step in the termination process:the stripping of the jacket.>Without the overall jacket, the individualcable components are all instantly identifiable and ready for termination. Just peel the individual cables off the center spline and they re ready.>The elimination of the outer jacket meansthat Banana Peel cables have a smaller ODthan traditional composites.

3 This improvesthe Cable 's overall bend radius for faster,easier installation. A smaller OD also means a smaller size conduit.>Breakout versatility is assured since theindividual cables can be connected to thejunction box or can be rerouted to theapplication site.>Short circuits, caused by contact with thecenter conductor while stripping off theouter jacket, can be prevented.>The individual cables are color-coded by application for easy identification so termination problems due to incorrectchoice of Cable are PRODUCTBULLETINNP 221 BELDEN Banana Peel Compositecables offer these key labor-savingfeatures: there s no overall jacket to strip off and the individual cables have color-coded and application printed jackets for easy identification and 221>To ensure correct Cable choice, BELDEN Access Control cables have the application printed on the individual Cable components: LockPower, Card Reader, Door Contactand Request Exit (Rex/Spare).

4 Seetable on page and Cost Savings Using Banana Peel CablesIn Chart 1 shown below, we see the labor/time savings of installing asingle access control door across thefour key installation processes: Set-up time, pulling time, termination and troubleshooting/testing/powering up mostly using a 2-man crew for the individual cables and a 1-man crew for the installation of the Banana Peelcables, since less labor is needed whenusing Banana Peel (no special pulling of individual cables, etc). Under this scenario, installers can typically expect a labor savings of 30 to 60%; in this instance, the contractor firmexperienced a savings of 31%.By applying the minimum labor savings expected (30%) to cost dataregarding the installation of a singleaccess control door (see Chart 2), wefind the following:Use of Banana PeelComposite cables may offer end-usersa $420 reduction in overall experience these tremendous costsavings, and the cables exceptionalelectrical performance, call Beldentoday at 1-800- BELDEN -1.
