2 This declaration is an environmental product declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO and ISO EPDs rely on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products over their life cycle. Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the site-specific environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools and certifications that are designed to address these impacts and/or set performance thresholds e.g. Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental impact assessments, etc. Accuracy of Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts, and the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover different life cycle stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different programs may not be comparable.

4 Access Control Access Control cables contain multiple cables each designed for a specific application. These applications include: card readers, door contacts, REX (request exit), and locking power. Although each cable has a separate application and cable requirements, they are installed in the same vicinity. Access Control cables are grouped together to make their installation easier. There are two main methods of grouping the cables together: applying an overall jacket or applying a substrate between the cables to stick them together (Banana Peel ). Jacketed versions (ex: AFJ) are generally larger than the Banana Peel versions (ex: AFS) and are more difficult to install since the jacket needs to be removed. The listed Access Control cables have four different cables grouped together. Each cable ranges from #16 to #22 AWG and has 16 to 18 conductors. Insulation material is Flamarrest PVC. Foil shields with drain wires are used when necessary and the jackets/substrates are Flamarrest PVC. o Part numbers: 638AFS, 658AFJ, 658AFS, 658AMJ, 658GFS, 658GMS Audio / Public Address / Sound Applications for this product set include Security, Intercom / PA, and Sound/Audio Systems, Speakers, and Power-limited Controls.

The copper is then drawn a second time to a specified diameter. The wire continues down the line to an extruder where insulation is applied to the wire. Cooling and drying of the insulated wire then occurs. For paired cables, two of these insulated wires are then twinned. For bonded pairs, the twinned cables are bonded together. Four twinned wire pairs, along with other cable components such as crosswebs, ripcords and/or shielding material, are then stranded together. Subsequently, the stranded wire has a jacket extruded around the stranded cable. After the jacket is applied, the cable is cooled and packaged. Various packaging options exist, but most product is shipped in 1000-foot length spools and/or boxes. Life Cycle Assessment Description Functional Unit Environmental impacts are reported per functional unit of a product and the functional unit is the basis for comparison in an LCA. For low voltage copper cable, the functional unit is 100 feet of cable. Life Cycle Stages Assessed Life Cycle Boundary Belden Plenum Cable Business-to-Business Belden Plenum Cable Business-to-Consumer EPD Life Cycle Stage Acquisition Packaging/Storage and Distribution Installation and Table 13: Life Cycle Stages Assessed

21 System Boundary This project considers the life cycle activities from resource extraction through installation and end-of-life effects. The boundary covers raw material acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, use and waste disposal as seen in Figure 2. Allocation Figure 1: System Boundary Allocation for manufacturing energy, water, and waste items was conducted per length of production based on allocation of resources per product groups produced at each facility. Cut-off Criteria For any impact category, should the sum of various impacts from a specific process/activity be less than 1% of the impact equivalent in that category, the process/activity may be neglected during the inventory analysis. Nonetheless, the accumulated impact of neglected process/activity may not exceed 5%. Components and materials omitted from the LCA shall be documented.

22 This EPD is in compliance with the cut-off criteria. Components and materials omitted from the LCA shall be documented and include installation energy from signal testing devices in the installation of Low Voltage cable. Capital items for the production processes (machines, buildings, etc.) were not taken into consideration. Period under Consideration Primary data used refer to the production processes of the manufacturing facility and were derived from calendar year Software and Background Data SimaPro v8.02 Software System for Life Cycle Engineering, an internationally recognized LCA modeling software program, was used for life cycle impact assessment modeling. Background and secondary datasets were modeled using the US LCI database, developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, as well as the ecoinvent v3 database, which is developed by the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories. FEP material impact data was obtained from an LCA on low voltage copper cable conducted for the Environmental Protection Agency. and Distribution The plenum cable products are distributed globally, but primarily throughout the United States and Canada. The final products were modeled as being shipped 500 miles (800 kilometers) by truck, based on the location of Belden manufacturing locations and distribution centers. Transportation Belden provided resource transportation mode and location data to support the calculation of raw material transportation flows. The transportation LCI data from the US LCI database (kg-km basis) were used to develop the resource transportation LCI profile. Installation and Stage Based on industry expertise from Belden, a scrap rate of 5% was assumed in the installation of the product in the use stage for this study. This rate was based on the expertise of Belden. In some installations, cables may be hung on J- hooks or attached to a surface with Velcro. However, in many cases the cable is simply laid with no attachment. Thus no J-hooks, Velcro, or other attachment materials were included in the boundary. Grounding is often required in data systems, but the grounding function is required for the racks and cable trays, not for the cables themselves, so grounding materials were not considered as an input to the cable product. The cables often connect to outlets installed in a wall or floor. These outlets were considered a separate product system and not included in the boundary of this study. No other materials are required for installation. Copper Low Voltage cable are considered passive product after installation and during the use stage, meaning no

23 energy is consumed during the products use. Therefore, no use stage impacts were measured, and thus none are presented in these results. No maintenance is required. The lifetimes of these products are vary and low voltage copper cable is replaced more commonly due to increased bandwidth and data speed requirements, and not because of product performance or degradation. End-of-Life A distance of 20 miles to the recycling facility was assumed for products at the end-of-life. A 95% recycling rate was assumed with the remaining 5% being disposed as the average US municipal solid waste disposition, as cited in a study conducted by DuPont (Krieger, 2007). The US disposition rates of 82% landfill and 18% incineration were assumed for the remaining 5% of product material. The cut-off methodology (also known as the recycled content method) was used for any materials that were sent to recycling such as scrap and the end-of-life disposition. This methodology assumes the processing of the recycled material at the recycler will be applied to the next product life cycle. Data not available in life cycle databases used models found in the Reduction Model (WARM), developed by the US EPA.
