Fire Retardant Cable Regulations and Andrew Cables: What You Should Know Wiring in Ducts, Plenums, and Other Air-Handling Spaces Only Type CATVP listed cables, which have extremely high fire resistance coupled with low smoke emission, are permitted by the NEC to be installed in ducts, plenums, or other spaces used for environmental air (such as above a false ceiling) without additional protection. Wiring in Vertical Runs Type CATVR listed cables are required for installation in risers or any other floor penetration connecting more than one floor. Definitions Some terms used in building construction are referred to in fireretardant cable regulations. They are defined below: Conduit: A tube or duct for enclosing electrical wires and cable. Conduit may be metallic or nonmetallic. Duct: A closed channel, tube, or pipe used to transport air, dust, vapors, etc. Plenum: A compartment or chamber to which one or more air ducts are connected and forms part of the air distribution system of a building. Raceway: An enclosed channel designed expressly for holding wires, cable, or busbars, with additional functions as permitted in the National Electrical Code. Raceway may be metallic or nonmetallic. www.commscope.com/andrew Visit our Web site or contact your local Andrew Solutions representative for more information.
