Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) A permanent virtual circuit (PVC) is a connection that is permanently established between two or more nodes in frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based networks. It enables the creation of a logical connection on top of a physical connection between nodes that communicate frequently or continuously.
PVC is used to make pipes and plastic medical devices. What is polyvinyl chloride (PVC)? Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is an odorless and solid plastic. It is most commonly white but can also be colorless or amber. It can also come in the form of white powder or pellets. PVC is made from vinyl chloride. The chemical formula for vinyl chloride is C 2 H 3 Cl. PVC is made up of many vinyl chloride molecules that, linked together, form a polymer (C 2 H 3 Cl)n. PVC is made softer and more flexible by the addition of phthalates. Bisphenol A (BPA) is also used to make PVC plastics. PVC contains high levels of chlorine. PVC is used to make pipes, pipe fittings, pipe conduits, vinyl flooring, and vinyl siding.
