Do you know why plenum cables are so important for commercial use? Plenum cables are designed specifically for use in plenum spaces, which are those spaces between the structural ceiling and the suspended ceiling or beneath elevated floorings that are used for cable storage during installations. Since the areas are not easily accessible during fire hazards it's important that any cables used in these areas be made from materials that won't produce toxic fumes or flames if they were to become damaged. Plenum cables also have a higher fire rating than standard cables.

Plenum cables were invented in the early 1990s in response to a series of deadly cable fires. The National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires that any cables used in plenum spaces must be certified as "plenum" cables. A plenum-rated cable will have the letters "PLENUM" printed on the jacket. It is now required in most jurisdictions that any commercial or institutional building have a plenum space to store cables and that plenum cables be used.

Built-to-order plenum cables are ideal for commercial or institutional projects where specific lengths, colors, and configurations are required. Cables.com offers a wide range of plenum cables for all your needs, including Cat-rated (i.e., Cat-5e, Cat-6), shielded, unshielded cables and more.
