Before everything went online, I remember spending a lot more time in computer shops, and one of the more incidental brands that was often on the shelves was Belden. You've probably come across the brand, but maybe you don't realise you have.

The company was founded in 1902, by Joseph Belden, and by its own admission it’s ‘a leading global supplier of specialty networking solutions’. But that’s not really the full story. Its products are everywhere, although its portfolio is divided into two segments: industrial solutions, which accounts for 53% of revenues, and enterprise solutions, which accounts for the rest.
