Plenum = non-toxic. So, if it's going through an air-return system, among other things, you need Plenum. It's also more heavily shielded, and thus often run in the walls (helps prevent interference from any power lines and anything else it happens to run nearby) I also do recall the Plenum being that cheap, Donovan. I'll try to double check this next time I'm up that way during the day.
