[WISPA] plenum cable

2006-04-03 Thread chris cooper


Will plenum rated cable stand up to the heat/moisture of a dryer vent
pipe?  Im trying to get a run of cable top to bottom on an 8 story
building and the easiest access is through a common dryer vent that
feeds laundry facilities on all 8 floors.

Thanks,
Chris Cooper

Chris,

I'd check with the cable manufacturer on that question. Plenum cable is 
designed to NOT give off toxic gases into a breathing-air plenum in case 
of a fire. I'm not sure this means that the cable will continue to 
survive and perform when intentionally exposed to high temperatures. You 
may find that there is a high-temp cable version that is more 
appropriate. It's also possible that standard cable might have a 
temperature rating high enough for your use considering that the dryer 
vent isn't carrying plenum air that anyone would be breathing.
