FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- JANUARY 30, 2007


BELDEN AGREES TO ACQUIRE HIRSCHMANN AUTOMATION AND CONTROL

Consistent with the strategic goal of expanding its connectivity offering in
markets where Belden is the preferred cable supplier, Belden is acquiring a
company with wide-ranging competence and leading market positions in digital
communication and connectivity for industrial automation and large-scale public
infrastructure.

St. Louis, Missouri -- Belden (NYSE:BDC) has entered into a definitive agreement
to purchase Hirschmann Automation and Control GmbH (together with certain
affiliates "HAC") from HgCapital, a European private equity investor, for a cash
purchase price of approximately $260 million. HAC is a leading supplier of
Industrial Ethernet solutions and industrial connectivity.

John Stroup, president and chief executive officer of Belden, said: "The
acquisition of Hirschmann is a major achievement in our pursuit to expand our
business in desirable end-markets, beyond cable, to signal transmission
solutions. In addition to having a broad portfolio of connectors for the
industrial market, Hirschmann is the undisputed leader in the application of
Industrial Ethernet solutions. We couldn't be more excited to have Hirschmann as
part of the Belden family.

"Hirschmann has leveraged its knowledge of industrial automation into a leading
position in digital communication for manufacturing and large-scale
infrastructure projects," Mr. Stroup continued. "Industrial Ethernet is an open
system that allows the integration of a wide variety of equipment and provides
for an interface between the industrial network and the enterprise network. The
adoption of Industrial Ethernet among our customers is in early stages but is
increasing rapidly because of these compelling advantages.

"In the short run," he continued, "we see a tremendous opportunity to use
Belden's global reach to accelerate HAC's revenue growth in North America and
Asia. In the long run, we expect to thoughtfully integrate the capabilities of
Hirschmann and Belden to create products and services for the industrial market
that are preferred worldwide.

"We continue to investigate opportunities that advance our presence in emerging
geographies and expand our solutions beyond copper cable," he concluded.


<PAGE>

HAC is led by Reinhard Sitzmann, chief executive officer, who will continue in
that role. The company has its headquarters in Neckartenzlingen, Germany, two
production locations in Germany, and three manufacturing joint ventures in
China. In addition to its Industrial Ethernet and connectivity product lines,
HAC has a leading position in electronic control and safety systems for cranes
and other load-bearing equipment. HAC had 2006 revenues of approximately $250
million and employs 750 associates.

Mr. Sitzmann said, "HAC and Belden have highly complementary products and market
positions. Belden will be able to strengthen HAC's market presence in North
America and Asia. We welcome this combination with Belden and look forward to a
creative and dynamic future."

Apart from the cash purchase price and as part of the consideration for the
acquisition, Belden will be responsible for certain obligations, including
pension liabilities, of approximately $60 million, to be funded in future years.

The companies anticipate the transaction to close in approximately 45 days.
Belden expects that the transaction will be accretive to 2007 earnings. A fact
sheet with more information about the acquisition can be found on Belden's
website, www.belden.com.

                              Hirschmann Background

Hirschmann Automation and Control (HAC) is a leading supplier of Industrial
Ethernet solutions and industrial connectors. A German company, Hirschmann was
founded in 1924, and today has the leading global market share in rail-mounted
Industrial Ethernet devices, as well as a strong position in industrial
connectivity within the European market. HAC had revenues in 2006 of
approximately $250 million.

                              Hirschmann Locations

Hirschmann has two production facilities in Germany: Neckartenzlingen, where the
company's headquarters also is located, and Ettlingen. The company also
participates in three joint ventures in China.

                               Hirschmann Products

HAC has three divisions: INET (Industrial Ethernet), ICON (Industrial
Connectors) and ECS (Electronic Control Systems).

INET -The products in this category are Industrial Ethernet switches and related
equipment, both rail-mounted and rack-mounted, for factory automation and
large-scale infrastructure projects, such as bridges, wind farms and airport
runways. Rail-mounted switches are designed to withstand harsh conditions
including electronic interference and mechanical stresses. HAC is the global
market share leader for rail-mounted Industrial Ethernet products. The INET
group also includes fiber optic interfaces and media converters used to bridge
fieldbus (networks) over long distances.

ICON -This group has a broad product offering in industrial connectors for
sensors and actuators and is a natural fit with Belden's global lead in
industrial cable. The combined product portfolio will allow us to expand the
industrial networking solutions we offer our clients.

ECS -HAC has a leading market share in Load Moment Indicators, which are safety
devices used on cranes and other load-bearing equipment to prevent equipment
from tipping over.


                   How Acquiring Hirschmann
                 Fits Belden's Strategic Plan

HAC's product range is highly complementary to Belden's industrial cable product
line. In a factory, many of the devices connected by Belden cable are the kinds
of products made by Hirschmann. HAC's Industrial Ethernet expertise together
with Belden's signal transmission expertise will deliver to our customers global
networking solutions for the most demanding environments. The acquistion fits
with Belden's strategic plan in the following ways:

-        it expands Belden's overall connectivity portfolio,

-        it improves market access,

-        it provides solutions for our industrial customers,

-        it improves Belden's position in emerging markets,

-        and it opens opportunities in wireless and fiber optics in the
         industrial space.

                 What is Industrial Ethernet?

Industrial Ethernet is an open system standard for digital communications on the
factory floor and in other rugged, demanding environments. Industrial Ethernet
systems also allow companies to integrate their factory IT with their enterprise
IT.
