The new 7732LL cable offers significant performance enhancements over Belden's
previous plenum-rated version (Product No 7732A), especially when deployed in
long cable runs for high definition video (HD-SDI) or 1080p/60 applications.
In fact, Brilliance 7732LL now offers the longest transmission distance in the
industry, matching the performance of Belden's non-plenum SDI/HDTV Digital
Video cables (7731A). In addition, Belden's 7732LL cables carry Belden's
industry-leading Return Loss guarantee of: -23 dB 5 MHz to 1.6 MHz, and -21
dB from 1.6 GHz to 4.5 GHz - making it the only plenum RG-11 cable in the
industry with this level of guaranteed Return Loss performance.

Steve Lampen, Belden's Multimedia Technology Manager, notes: "The new
Brilliance 7732LL cable represents a breakthrough development in extending the
signal transmission distance of plenum-rated copper video cables, without
having to install fiber optic cabling. As digital video progressed from SDI
to HD-SDI and now to 1080p/60 and 1080p/50 (3G), these applications have
placed greater length constraints on copper cables, especially plenum-rated.
With this new product, the distance differential between plenum and non-plenum
cables has been eliminated."

The new Belden Brilliance Plenum-Rated RG-11/U Type Precision Digital Video
Coaxial Cables feature a 14 AWG solid bare copper conductor, Duofoil(R) + 95%
Tinned Copper Braid Shield, PTFE insulation and fluorocopolymer jacket. They
are available in ten colors, including Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow,
Green, Blue, Violet, Gray and Natural.
