Plenum CAT5e Ethernet cable
Designed specifically for in-wall installations, our VidaBox Plenum CAT5e wire is UL tested, and meets CMP or plenum cable standards - permitting it for use with any in-wall, plenum, and riser CAT5 runs, or any other any location.
What is Plenum-rated Cable?
Plenum spaces - like the spaces between a drop and standard ceiling, or HVAC ducts - allow fire and smoke to travel quickly. In the US, plastics used in the construction of plenum-rated cable are regulated under NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standard 90A, which dictate that plenum-rated cables must be made of fire retardant plastic jackets, with either low-smoke PVC or FEP. This requirement ensures that fires that start in one location do not rapidly spread throughout a building by traveling along the length of the cable.
Using non-plenum cables : A minor decision that can prove costly
While common PVC jacketed CAT5 cables can be one-third the cost of plenum-rated cables, their benefits stop at low cost. In the event of a fire:
- the fire can spread very quickly, resulting in more damage
- toxic smoke emissions can prove to be deadly
- insurance claims may be denied if local building / fire codes requires the use of plenum cable, but non-plenum cable was installed.
- the fire can spread very quickly, resulting in more damage
- toxic smoke emissions can prove to be deadly
- insurance claims may be denied if local building / fire codes requires the use of plenum cable, but non-plenum cable was installed.
Why choose VidaPower Plenum cables?
