    For a designer choosing cable for use in a facility, there are many things to consider including cost, performance, and occupant safety in case of a fire.  General Cable's 17 FREE Riser product offerings present an excellent option to traditional Plenum and Riser cables in new facilities.  The 17 FREE Riser product line provides increased safety for occupants in case of a fire, while still offering a reasonable cost.

    When designing a building for LEED certification, the use of General Cable's 17 FREE lines of products may qualify towards LEED pilot credit under USGBC's Pilot Credit 62 and Pilot Credit 54 program, which are avoidance and disclosure of chemicals of concern.  Buildings that are LEED certified use resources more efficiently compared to the standard building code and can provide a healthier working environment for people.  There are four levels of certifications-baseline, silver, gold and platinum-that offer a reduction in operations costs and possible increased tax incentives.

    Incorporating General Cable's 17 FREE line of cables into a building significantly reduces the health hazard of halogen-based fumes in a fire scenario, while still meeting industry standards.
