23 AWG Category 6A Plenum F/UTP 1000FT Reel Pink Cable 10189547
[pdf] [/pdf]
Also Known As :
It is a type of network cabling that is used in buildings where air circulation for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) is provided through the space above the ceiling or below the floor that is used for air return flow.
About :
F/UTP cables are commonly used in commercial buildings, especially in areas where the building code requires their use due to their enhanced safety characteristics. They typically cost more than non-plenum-rated cables due to the materials used in their construction.

Construction
23 AWG bare copper wire insulated with thermoplastic. The plenum refers to the space in buildings used for air circulation for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, often in the space between the structural ceiling and a drop-down ceiling or under a raised floor. Plenum-rated cable is coated with a fire-retardant material to prevent flames from spreading and to reduce the amount of toxic smoke produced in the event of a fire. It is crucial to use plenum-rated cable in any space that is used as an air return in HVAC systems to meet building code requirements for fire safety. Two insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four such pairs cabled to form the basic unit, jacketed with flame-retardant PVC.
