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.
