Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 12: Subsequent Events On July 26, 2016, we completed an offering of 5.2 million depositary shares, each of which represents 1/100^th interest in a share of 6.75% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock), for an offering price of $100 per depositary share. Unless earlier converted, each share of Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock on or around July 15, 2019 into between 120.46 and 132.50 shares of Belden common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. This represents a range of 6.2 million - 6.9 million shares of Belden common stock to be issued upon conversion. The number of shares of Belden common stock issuable upon the mandatory conversion of the Preferred Stock will be determined based upon the volume-weighted average price of Belden’s common stock over the 20 day trading period beginning on, and including, the 22^nd scheduled trading day prior to July 15, 2019. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $502 million. We intend to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
