How to Select CM, CMR and CMP Cable?

CMR: The 'R' in CMR is for 'Riser'. Riser type cables are engineered to prevent the spread of fire from floor to floor and are suitable for vertical shaft applications.

CMP: The 'P' in CMP is for Plenum. Cables meeting type CMP requirements are suitable for installation in ducts and plenums without the use of conduit. These cables are designed for fire resistance and low-smoke and toxin producing characteristics.

CMX: The 'X' in CMX is for Outside Plant. Cables meeting type CMX requirements are suitable for installation in outdoor applications where exposed to the elements.

CM/CMH/CMG: CM is used for general building wiring such as residential house. CM cables are used in areas other than plenums and risers.


Where to use Plenum Security Alarm Cable

Why Plenum?

A plenum space, located above drop ceilings or below floors, facilitates air circulation in buildings. In the event of a fire, this space poses a risk, as non-plenum cables can propagate fire and toxic smoke throughout the building. Plenum cables feature flame-retardant jackets crafted from special plastics to inhibit the emission of harmful smoke. Primarily employed in commercial settings like schools and hospitals with high occupant density, plenum cables are mandated in multi-floor business structures with extensive plenum spaces.
