I'm looking for about 20 plenum rated zip ties that are the color red. Crazy story: A customer needed to get into his newly renovated space asap but couldn't find a cabler able to get the wiring in on time, so I volunteered to run his cable. Heck it was only 14 runs with hollow walls and drop ceilings. I did a great job, but I used "clear" plenum rated zip ties. Everything is exactly to code. The city inspector failed the job and won't let them proceed because the zip ties holding the network wiring are clear. He devoutly believes that plenum rated zip ties only come in "red". Problem: none of my electrical or cable distributors carry the "red" zip ties any more (they are more expensive than the clear plenum rated ties). The client is pissed. He is still not able to move in. I need to find some red zip ties (plenum rated) because being right isn't as much fun as having a happy client (and getting getting paid...).
As to the inspector, he has put to much into this fiasco to back down and admit his mistake.
