Hi Jim,
I can confirm that Annex C of CAN CSA C22.2 214-2008 edition specifies under CABLE SUBSTITUTIONS that (c) Communications cables marked CMP have been found to meet the standard criteria for FT6. I hope it helps. Respectfully yours, Constantin Constantin Bolintineanu P.Eng.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Goedderz, Jim Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: plenum rated cable for Canada News groupers, We have run into a situation where some cable may be marked incorrectly, or perhaps not be sufficient for the application. I need to get some information. In Canada, a flame/smoke rating system of FT-1 through FT-6 is used. (Perhaps CSA C22 No. 03-M-2001) In the U.S., a plenum (CMP) rating is designated in the identification on the cable. Does anyone have a comparison chart or can you give me direction in verifying (or not) that FT-6 is the same as plenum rated? The cable is marked FT-4, CMP. Before I go to the vendor, I need a bit of education. Thank you.
