Belden has acquired ICM Corporation

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- ICM Corporation is known for making the best compression connectors for the low voltage market place.  Their FCONN brand of connectors and Cable Pro brand of termination tools are often referred to as the “Cadillac” parts of the home theater, networking, audio video, and surveillance world.  Many professional installers have chosen the ICM brand due to their superior performance, durability, and ease of installation.  Although the ICM brand of connectors and tools usually have a higher price tag, if you have ever used them you will know why.  They are just the best!  

ICM is a relatively small business so it was not hard for a big successful company like Belden to easily pull the money to buy them out.  By adding these brands of coaxial connectors, tools and components to Belden’s existing portfolio of broadcast, audio/video, broadband and security cables, Belden users can enjoy reliable performance delivered in a cost efficient manner.  Adding the ICM line of connectors Belden has essentially added the “icing on the cake” to their already huge cake of low voltage success!  Now Belden has full control of the great patented products from ICM.  Plus they have access to ICM plant in China where really all the innovation is put to work.  It is unknown really how this will affect the future of the brand and pricing.  But with a huge amount of financial and relationship leverage I am sure Belden is expecting great success from their new connector and tool lines!

The most innovative part of the ICM portfolio is for sure their compression connectors.  They offer a complete line of compression F, RCA, Speaker, and BNC connectors that are for sure in a class of their own.  Plus they all offer the ICM patented “NO-BLIND ENTRY” system that makes them completely worth it the price tag.  Really no other compression connector system offers the performance and reliability of the ICM FCONN brand.  The “NO-BLIND ENTRY” system ensures reliability and a perfect termination with every installation.  Which means pretty much anyone can install these connectors in ½ the time of any other brand on the market.

With surveillance and CCTV system installations on the rise the ICM compression BNC connectors have really become the highlight of the line.  The ICM compression BNC connectors are top of the class and offer many of the valuable characteristics that are required in a professional grade security camera installation.  Their BNC connectors not only ensure performance but also ensure 100% protection when used in extreme weather environments.
