RG59 PLENUM 18/2 SIMAESE CABLE

THE PLENUM VARIATION

The RG59 Plenum 18/2 Siamese cable packs a slew of adjectives, but does it really pack a punch?  The answer is yes – the “Plenum” aspect makes this cable different from others in the RG59 family.  Here’s how.

• Plenum denotes a different type of RG59.   Your standard RG59 cable will be made out of PVC, which is a perfectly sturdy-enough makeup for most applications.  However, when RG59 cable comes into close proximity with air ducts, added safety measures must be taken.  That’s where Plenum comes to the rescue. 
• Plenum is a slightly different type of compound mixture.  If an unruly spark turns into a fire, this cord won’t emit toxic fumes when burned.  This aspect makes it a necessary selection during pre-construction planning.  If the cable is going to be near an air vent, it’s going to be made with Plenum.
• The fire inspector will actually check to make sure a commercial building is outfitted with RG59 Plenum 18/2 Siamese cable.  An inspector will look at the blueprint for the structure and will ensure that the cables near air ducts feature Plenum.
• Though the addition of Plenum makes a Siamese cable more expensive, having it could save lives.  The investment is worth it – especially when the alternatives are examined.
