Plenum-Rated Cabling and Connectivity for Intelligent Buildings

Today more than ever, companies are striving to deploy profitable intelligent buildings capable of providing significant capital and operational savings, while improving sustainability and overall customer and employee satisfaction. At the same time, the "Internet of Things" is rapidly becoming a reality as more low-voltage devices become network enabled for efficient power, control and communication across integrated systems.

In addition to voice, data, video and wireless devices, a wide range of sensors, control panels and detectors for access control, LED lighting, alarm systems, temperature, air handling/ventilation and many other security and building automation systems now require network connectivity.

Often many of these devices need to connect within the plenum space of a building, including above the drop ceiling and under raised floors. Cable and connectivity placed within the plenum space must meet specific fire protection regulations in accordance with the National Electric Code® (NFPA 70), including UL 2043 rating for smoke and heat release in air-handling spaces.

To support that combined need for felxibility and Code compliance, Siemon's line of UL 2043 plenum-rated cable and connectivity products now includes:
