I'm not sure if anyone responded to this yet, but you only need plenum cable in areas that are used as air ways. This typically means areas in the ceiling and cold air returns. I used PVC cable in my house and the inspector hardly even looked at any low voltage (data and voice) wiring. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Erik Anderson Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 5:09 PM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: [TCLUG] OT: Home data wiring question I'm going to be moving soon, and am planning on wiring the new place with cat5e. I'm wondering what type of cat5e I should buy. I know that for commercial applications, you need to install plenum cable in the walls to meet code. Does the same building code apply to residential data wiring? Can I put STP or PVC cable in the walls?
