Internet Cables Offgassing

by | Nov 8, 2010 | Q & A | 1 comment

Question from HEG

We just had the internet provider come to reroute our internet cables away from our bed, and as a result they installed a new cable around the far side of the room to connect the cable connection to the modem (to avoid needing a wireless modem). The cable smells fairly strongly of plastic – most likely PVC. Anyone know how long it will offgas/smell for, and if there is anything we can do, other than running our air purifier in the room?

Debra’s Answer

Don’t know myself. Readers?

    This happened to me-We replaced the cable with one that did not smell at our own cost. There are some that smell and some that do not.
