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.

LIB's Walk-In Environmental Chambers: Scalable, Specialized, and Built for Industry Extremes

By: PRLog
XI'AN, China - Aug. 7, 2025 - PRLog -- As industries from renewable energy to automotive electronics demand rigorous validation under harsh conditions, the need for flexible, high-volume testing solutions grows exponentially. LIB steps forward with its line of custom-engineered walk-in environmental chambers – expansive enclosures designed not just for size, but to simulate precise, extreme environments for diverse, demanding applications.

Moving beyond simple scaling, LIB's walk-in chambers are intelligently designed around the test article. Every critical factor is integrated: the specimen's dimensions, weight (supporting massive loads like 7600W lamps or 300kg fixtures), electrical and thermal load requirements, and specific test standards (IEC 61215 for PV panels, PV1210/LV124/VDA for automotive, IEC 60068-2-60 for mixed gas). This ensures the chamber isn't just space, but a purpose-built performance environment.

LIB's distinct advantage lies in specialized environmental simulation capabilities within the walk-in format:

1. Climate Chambers: Achieve full-range conditions (-60°C to +100°C, 10-98% RH) with rapid ramping (up to 3.4°C/min) and options like microwave humidification. Ideal for exhaustive thermal cycling (1000+ cycles) and condensation stress tests on items like photovoltaic panels or bulk components. Features include custom access ports, optimized cooling (BOCK compressors, water/air cooled), and dedicated controller placement.

2. Dust Chambers (IP Testing): Engineered for ingress protection validation, offering solutions like underground installation for low-ceiling labs and flexible configurations (with or without a base chamber + dust cover).

3. Salt Spray Walk-ins: Combine corrosive atmospheres with precise thermal control (-20°C) and fast transitions. Featuring SUS316 stainless steel interiors for maximum corrosion resistance, they meet stringent automotive/marine standards (ISO 9227, VDA, PV1210, Honda/Nissan CCT).

4. Mixed Gas Test Chambers: Enable precise exposure to corrosive or toxic gases at PPB concentrations within SUS316 chambers. Configurable for 3-4 gas mixtures, custom sample holders, and specific internal parameters.

True functional adaptability defines LIB: detachable structures, selectable water or air cooling, flexible controller positioning, and bespoke access ports allow tailoring without over-engineering. Designed for usability and durability, features like noise control, ramp access for heavy items (e.g., PV panels on rails), integrated data logging, and stable airflow ensure testing is safe, repeatable, and accurate—whether for a single large DUT or batch component testing.

Elevate your large-scale testing with LIB's specialized walk-in solutions.

About LIB: LIB leverages decades of innovation to deliver custom testing solutions worldwide for the automotive, energy, electronics, and research industries. LIB test chambers are suitable for simulating various environmental conditions, including T&H, salt spray, dust, and rain exposure, toxic gas, UV/Xenon light aging, and more.
