About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

What are the characteristics of TC fabric? What is the difference between it and CVC fabric?

  In the world of textiles, the types of fabrics available are vast and varied, each with its own unique properties and uses. Among these, TC (Terylene Cotton) and CVC (Chief Value Cotton) fabrics are popular choices, especially in the apparel industry. This article delves into the characteristics of TC fabric and highlights the differences between TC and CVC fabrics.

Characteristics of TC Fabric

  TC fabric, a blend of polyester (Terylene) and cotton, is renowned for its unique combination of properties derived from both materials. Typically, the composition of TC fabric includes a higher percentage of polyester compared to cotton. Common ratios include 65% polyester and 35% cotton, although variations exist.

Key characteristics of TC fabric include:

  Durability: The high polyester content imparts excellent strength and durability to TC fabric, making it resistant to wear and tear.

  Wrinkle Resistance: TC fabric is less prone to wrinkling compared to pure cotton fabrics. This makes it a popular choice for garments that require a neat appearance with minimal ironing.

  Moisture Wicking: While not as breathable as pure cotton, TC fabric offers decent moisture-wicking properties. The cotton component helps in absorbing moisture, making the fabric comfortable to wear.Cost-Effectiveness: TC fabric is generally more affordable than pure cotton fabrics, offering a budget-friendly option without compromising too much on quality and comfort.Easy Care: This fabric is easy to care for, withstanding machine washes and drying without significant shrinkage or damage.

  Differences Between TC and CVC FabricWhile TC fabric is a blend with a higher proportion of polyester, CVC fabric is characterized by its higher cotton content. CVC stands for Chief Value Cotton, indicating that cotton is the predominant fiber in the blend.

Here are the key differences between TC and CVC fabrics:

  Composition: TC fabric typically has a higher polyester content (usually around 65%), while CVC fabric has a higher cotton content (often around 60-80% cotton).

  Comfort: Due to the higher cotton content, CVC fabric tends to be softer and more breathable than TC fabric. This makes CVC fabric more comfortable for prolonged wear, especially in warmer climates.

  Durability: TC fabric is generally more durable and resistant to wear and tear compared to CVC fabric.

  Wrinkle Resistance: TC fabric has better wrinkle resistance compared to CVC fabric, thanks to the polyester component.

  Moisture Management: CVC fabric offers better moisture absorption and breathability, making it suitable for casual and everyday wear. TC fabric, while having some moisture-wicking properties, may not be as breathable as CVC fabric.Cost: Typically, TC fabric is more cost-effective due to the lower cost of polyester compared to cotton. CVC fabric, with its higher cotton content, may be priced higher but offers enhanced comfort and breathability.

  Understanding the characteristics and differences between these fabrics helps manufacturers and consumers make informed decisions, ensuring the right fabric is chosen for the intended use. Whether prioritizing durability or comfort, both TC and CVC fabrics offer valuable benefits, catering to a wide range of textile needs.
