Installation Notes

This plenum-rated cable is designed for installation in air handling spaces, drop ceilings, and HVAC plenums where low-smoke, fire-resistant materials are required by code. The CMP rating is the highest fire safety rating for communications cables, making it suitable for the most demanding commercial installations.

The unshielded construction makes this cable ideal for installations where electromagnetic interference is not a concern, providing a cost-effective solution for alarm circuits in plenum spaces. This is particularly suitable for commercial applications in low-interference environments where plenum rating is mandatory but shielding is not required.

The eight-conductor configuration offers maximum versatility for complex security systems, multi-zone installations, card readers, door alarms, or applications requiring multiple circuits in a single cable run. The compact 4.34mm diameter makes this cable easy to route through conduits and tight plenum spaces while the 22 AWG gauge provides excellent flexibility.

Always consult NEC Article 725, 760, and 800 requirements and local building codes before installation.
