We believe Belden produces the highest quality products available. If you are comparing these with other manufacturers products consider the following:
- Are they the same gage?
- Are the insulations or dielectrics the same material?
- Are they the same Velocity of Propagation?
- The same capacitance?
If the cables seem absolutely identical, ask yourself: Is the source I am buying from an authorized Belden distributor? Click on "Distributors" below to find out if you are dealing with an authorized distributor of Belden products.
Often distributors two-step or three-step our products because they are not authorized Belden distributors. Others might inflate our product price to sell you another line on which they make more money - but offer nothing to you in terms of quality or performance.
What kind of Warranty does the other cable have? ALL Belden products are warranted for a full 10 years from the date of shipment to the buyer. For IBM and DataTwist brand cables the warranty period is for 15 years.
