Invision UK Announce Distribution Agreement with BeldenCDT (3/6/2005)

Stand E14/E50, Hall 3, CEDIA UK Expo 2005

Invision UK is pleased to announce that they have been appointed as UK distributor for the BeldenCDT HomeChoice(tm) range.

Global cable manufacturer BeldenCDT launched HomeChoice in the UK following the massive success of these products in the USA. HomeChoice products are unrivalled in the market for their quality and performance delivery and this agreement with Invision means that BeldenCDT now have a dedicated distributor to support their sales growth in the residential market.

"The success of the HomeChoice portfolio in the US encouraged us to launch these products in the UK, already there has been significant interest which we feel is set to grow as the demand for 'intelligent homes' increases", commented Hans Werner Eich, Marketing Manager, HomeChoice.

The HomeChoice range of products brings to the home future-proof capabilities for every application, supporting home office (networking), home cinema, security, lighting, security alarm (CCTV), and smart appliances all through a 'single-pull' cable! The use of a single cable throughout the home provides an easy to install, and cost effective solution for homebuilders and installers to meet the technological demands of modern homebuyers.

The needs of installation companies and homeowners could not be more different, the homeowner demands high performance across a wide range of modern services, whilst the installers seek ease of installation and cost effectiveness, both however, view reliability as crucial.

Installation of HomeChoice cables today means that properties will be 'future-proof' - ready for the next generation of home entertainment and connectivity, making the property more attractive to the home buyer.

BeldenCDT test all of their products to ensure that no loss of performance is experienced through installation. No other cable on the market comes with this Installable Performance guarantee.

After the rigours of installation, Belden know their cable will still perform beyond the requirements of today's intelligent home. During tests all cables within the market performed to a similar standard on the reel, but when the cable experiences the stress of installation only Belden cable maintained the same level of performance. Some cables failed to meet Cat5e cable requirements, a shocking result for those installing future-proof cables.

"BeldenCDT Bonded-Pair cables provide CAT 5e verified performance as part of the HomeChoice composite cable" enthused Eich, " As member of CEDIA, we are serious about educating the market about the pitfalls of using sub-standard products and the huge loss of performance experienced once installed."

BeldenCDT and Invision UK will showcase the complete range of HomeChoice cables on Stand E14/E50 in Hall 3, CEDIA EXPO 2005 at the ICC, Birmingham, 28th - 30th June 2005.
