Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and certain equipment. We make certain judgments in determining whether a contract contains a lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 17 years; some of which include extension and termination options for an additional 15 years or within 1 year, respectively. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain as of the commencement date of the lease. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments.

We have entered into various short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on our balance sheet, and for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, the rent expense for short-term leases was not material.

We have certain property and equipment lease contracts that may contain lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single combined lease component.

As the rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable, we use the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, which is unique to each leased asset, and is based upon the term of the lease, commencement date of the lease, local currency of the leased asset, and the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset.

We are party to a lease guarantee, whereby Belden has covenanted the lease payments for one of Snell Advanced Media's (SAM) property leases through its 2035 expiration date. The lease guarantee was executed in 2018 following the acquisition of SAM, which we subsequently sold on July 2, 2020 as part of the Grass Valley disposal group. This lease guarantee was retained by Belden and not transferred to Black Dragon Capital as part of the sale of Grass Valley. Belden would be required to make lease payments only if the primary obligor, Black Dragon Capital, fails to make the payments. As of April 3, 2022, the SAM lease has approximately $19.2 million of lease payments remaining. We have not recorded a liability associated with this guarantee.
