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.

GLASS VS. CERAMIC TABLES: WHICH IS BETTER FOR YOUR HOME?

Selecting a coffee or dining table for your home is not only a matter of style but also of picking the right materials that balance durability and functionality. In recent years, glass and ceramic furniture have become popular options for their unique advantages In this blog, we will examine the features of glass and ceramic dining tables, their benefits, and key factors to consider when deciding which one best suits your home.

 

Glass Tables: Modern Elegance and Versatility

Glass tables are the prime choice for modern and minimalist interiors. The tempered or laminated glass used in glass tables is hard and scratch-resistant while being extremely easy to keep clean. Tempered glass when shattered doesn’t leave behind sharp pieces and instead disintegrates into granules while laminated glass holds its shape after cracking. Thanks to these properties, glass tables have the ability to balance elegance with safety. From glass dining tables to glass coffee tables, they bring luxury to any given space.

 

Benefits of Glass Tables

Aesthetic Appeal: Glass tables are famous for their modern and elegant design that will easily fit into minimalist or industrial interiors. A round glass coffee table would, for example, create an airy feel with an open appearance, ideally suited to small spaces or modern living rooms.

Lightweight and Versatile: Glass tables are relatively lighter in weight compared to marble and ceramic, making them transportable and easy to relocate. For flexibility, consider a glass nest of tables for your living room that can be moved apart and used singly or stacked to take up less space.

 

Easy Maintenance: It is easier to wipe off any fingerprints and smudges from glass surfaces. This makes them a great option for active households.

 

Ceramic Tables: Durable and Stylish

Ceramic is a non-porous, heat-resistant material that is thus sturdy and durable. They can be used practically as well as decoratively in different finishes and designs. For example, a ceramic extending dining table brings together durability with the elegance of a look that will dominate the dining room while also providing the flexibility of accommodating more guests by expanding.

 

Benefits of Ceramic Tables

Durability: Due to the scratch-resistant surface and durability against hectic usage, ceramic tables can be an ideal choice for families or high-traffic spaces. Ceramic tables won’t stain easily, hence making them easy to clean, and low maintenance. Good for families with kids or frequent dinner parties.

 

Variety in Aesthetic Options: From metallic polish to earthy textured designs, ceramic tables can add another dimension to any interior design. The best options to consider in ceramic furniture would be Ceramic dining tables or ceramic and sintered stone coffee tables. They are the ideal combination of style and practicality, adding that home personality without compromising on durability.

Key Differences Between Glass and Ceramic Tables

Durability

Glass tables, especially made from tempered glass, are very strong and resistant to day-to-day use but still pale in comparison to tables made from ceramic. Ceramic is less likely to be marked up or otherwise damaged in homes with children or pets.

 

Maintenance Requirements

Clear Glass tables have a certain feeling of lightness that makes them great for modern and minimalist interiors. On the other hand, ceramic tables provide greater design options, they can have any type of marble, or stone finish and provide eclectic or classic interior settings.

 

Cost

In addition, glass tables tend to be cheaper than ceramic ones. However, ceramic tables justify their extra price by offering more durability and style. So, the decision will depend on your budget and long-term needs.
