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.

Dealing with the yellowing and aging problems of PVC blinds after long-term use

By: AB Newswire

Hello, dear home enthusiasts! Let’s chat about a common hassle that might have been bugging you if you have PVC blinds in sunny rooms. If you’re in Nordic regions, you’ve probably noticed that after 2 – 3 years, those once – fresh polyvinyl chloride blinds in your sunlit rooms start to turn yellow. It’s really frustrating how they clash with your light – colored interior decor, looking totally out of place. And for folks in tropical areas, there’s another problem: the edges of the PVC blinds get brittle from UV exposure, and they easily break when you try to pull them. So, what’s behind all this, and more importantly, how can we fix it?​

The Root Causes​

In tropical regions, the situation is more severe. The intense and prolonged UV exposure, combined with high temperatures and humidity, speeds up the aging process of PVC Venetian Blinds. The high heat makes the PVC blinds more vulnerable to the damaging effects of UV rays, and the humidity can also contribute to the degradation of the material. That’s why the edges of the polyvinyl chloride blinds, which are more exposed, become brittle and prone to breaking when pulled.​

Effective Solutions​

• Choose UV – Resistant PVC Blinds​

When you’re out shopping for new PVC blinds, go for those labeled “UV – resistant”. These Vinyl Horizontal Blinds are specially treated during production to withstand the harmful effects of UV rays. They have added ingredients that act as a shield, slowing down the yellowing and aging process significantly. It might be a bit more of an investment upfront, but it’s totally worth it in the long run as they’ll last much longer.

• Install Additional Sun Protection​

For existing PVC blinds or as a preventive measure for new ones, consider installing other sun protection devices. In Nordic homes, sheer curtains or roller shades can be used alongside polyvinyl chloride blinds. They can filter out some of the UV rays before they reach the PVC blinds, reducing the damage. In tropical areas, external sunshades or awnings are great options. They block the sun’s rays from hitting the windows directly, lowering the temperature around the PVC blinds and minimizing UV exposure.​

• Regular Cleaning and Maintenance​

Keeping your PVC blinds clean is crucial. Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface, and when combined with UV rays, they can accelerate the aging process of PVC louvers. Every few weeks, wipe the PVC blinds with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Make sure to rinse the cloth thoroughly to avoid leaving any soap residue. For tough stains, you can use a non – abrasive cleaner, but be sure to test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the polyvinyl chloride blinds first.​

• Handle with Care​

In tropical regions where the PVC louvers are prone to brittleness, handle them gently when pulling or adjusting. Avoid yanking the PVC blinds forcefully, as this can cause the edges to break. If you notice any loose or damaged parts of the polyvinyl chloride blinds, fix them promptly to prevent further damage.​

• Replacement When Necessary​

If your PVC blinds are severely yellowed or have a lot of broken edges, it might be time to replace them. Even with the best care, polyvinyl chloride blinds have a lifespan. When replacing, remember to choose the UV – resistant PVC horizontal blinds to avoid the same problem happening again too soon.​

By understanding the causes of yellowing and aging in PVC blinds and taking the right preventive and maintenance measures, you can keep your polyvinyl chloride blinds looking good and functioning well for a longer time, no matter if you’re in the Nordic regions or tropical areas.
