Non- Plenum , Riser (CMR) Rated Cable

Other Cable Ratings:

Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Rated Cable

Used in shipboard applications and computer networking rooms where toxic or acidic smoke and fumes can injure people and/or equipment. Examples of Halogens include Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine. These materials when burned produce acidic smoke that can harm people and computer equipment. Low Smoke means the cable does not produce the heavy black soot and smoke common with PVC cables. These Low Smoke Zero Halogen Bullk cables will self extinguish but cannot pass UL-910 or UL-1666 for a plenum or riser rating.

 

General Purpose (CM, CMG, CMx) Cable

Complies with UL-1581 testing. Will burn and partially self extinguish. Not for use between build floors or in air plenum spaces. Often these cables are used for workstation cables and patch cords.
