yes, we've also joked about that, but unfortunately I do have a conscience... > > 2) Can you use some metal ties or other form of plenum-rated fastener? You know I think I should just cut up some of the plenum rated cabling and use that to tie it up... unfortunately this inspector wants the cabling secured above the ceiling tiles permanently - so he wants zip ties - red zip ties. Metal? hmmm. I don't think he would pass that either (unless it were RED metal).
