Telecast Fiber Systems Inks Distribution Deal with Bexel

Belden’s Telecast Fiber Systems brand has signed a distribution agreement with Bexel, a global provider of broadcasting technology and equipment. As a platinum-level distributor, Bexel will promote, sell, and provide technical support for the full range of Telecast Fiber Systems’ fiber optic solutions for broadcast production.

“We’re very excited about our new partnership with Bexel. The company’s extensive dealer network and renowned expertise in the broadcast video and audio equipment field, especially pertaining to outside broadcasting and mobile production, make Bexel an ideal partner as we continue to extend our reach in the global broadcast market,” said Steve DeFrancesco, vice president and general manager of Telecast Fiber Systems. “Besides helping us put ‘more feet on the street,’ Bexel knows our products inside and out — and its extensive network and quick-turn inventory will give our customers even broader access to our industry-leading solutions.”

Bexel is the latest company to join Telecast Fiber Systems’ channel partner program. The program was designed to give customers more access to sales resources through distributor partnerships.

In addition, Bexel will provide a field inventory of high-run products to enable Telecast Fiber Systems to meet expedited delivery times. Bexel will represent Telecast Fiber Systems’ family of broadcast audio and video fiber-optic transport solutions, including its full line of CopperHead camera-mounted transceivers, Teleport and TeleThon multiplexers, Python video distribution systems, Adder II audio multiplexers, Viper portable modular transport systems, Rattler mini HD/SDI links, TR6442i CommLink Fiber Optic Intercom Link and the SHED/HDX SMPTE hybrid elimination device.

“For several years, we have been pleased to offer Telecast Fiber Systems products through our equipment rental services, and now we’re looking forward to taking the relationship to the next level as a Platinum distributor,” said Scott Nardelli, senior vice president of sales at Bexel. “Our customers need no introduction to Telecast Fiber Systems’ solutions, which have a well deserved reputation in the field for lowering costs, reducing setup time and delivering pristine video quality.”
