Run four conductors through plenum air-handling spaces for bi-wire in-ceiling speakers, 4-conductor volume control loops, and dual speaker pair distributions in commercial offices, schools, and hotels. CMP and CL3P rated — the highest indoor fire safety classification — this 16AWG 4-conductor OFC cable meets code wherever speaker wire passes through air plenum spaces above suspended ceilings or below raised floors where the HVAC system would circulate smoke from a fire.
Remguard Plenum Polymer insulation and jacket emit significantly less toxic smoke than standard PVC under fire conditions — the material requirement for CMP certification in occupied buildings. At 0.205 in. OD and 22 lbs per 500ft, this is a compact 4-conductor OFC plenum cable, leaving more room in congested plenum spaces where multiple runs share the same ceiling pathway. CMP-rated cable substitutes for CL3R or CL2 in any installation environment.
