Plenum vs Non Plenum PVC Network Ethernet Cables.

This is an animated lesson discussing the difference between unshielded twisted pair PVC rated cables, such as plenum (cmp), riser (cmr) and cm Ethernet cables.

There are a few corrections that need to be made, this has been my profession for 20 years.... 1 - It is ALSO about the inner insulators, they too must past burn testing. 2 - PLENUM is made out of PVC, it just has a different compounds. Plenum is still PVC. 3 - Plenum still produces toxic fumes, such has Halides. It just produces LESS toxic fumes. 4 - UL is not “global” it is for the USA, they don’t use UL in Europe, China, Etc. 5 - Not every Plenum cable has FEP, in fact very few Plenum cables contain FEP. I can only think of a couple FEP Plenum cables (one is the CL1 Lutron 216 cable, but that is all I can think of)

[@themadmallard]

You wouldn't call UL 'global' just because its based in the US? They have operations all over the globe, and their standards can be applied for/used by non US nations. That would be like saying ETL/Intertek isnt global because its in the UK, even though it also tests to US bound products as well...I think its fair to call them global.

Damm bro dont roast this channel

[@jonathanokolie7295]

I'm happy to fail as a result of their supposed error rather than this perfection.

[@ozzi9058]

Something I didn’t even know was important to know, I now know, thanks PowerCert, always helpful!

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Glad to hear it!

[@klwthe3rd]

I love the skull and cross bones that signify the toxic gas when the CM cables are burned!! Awesome animation as always!

[@jjbeanks7093]

Dude, like really. Can I just say you are a GODSENT! The way you explain everything is so clear and concise and the animations really drive the point home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@anthonyvilla9960]

I'm a Visual Learner and your videos have changed my life. Thank You sir! I know you spent a lot of time making these videos for us you're so appreciated! I'll show support by buying some Merch from you!

[@himanshu7103]

[@hannazakiy9861]

meanwhile i'm chilling here with my 100 feet regular ethernet cable came from my neighbor

[@victorlucki8586]

This takes me back to my networking classes - good times!

[@deadpixel4106]

Excellent! The plenum explanation is very useful as I’m starting to pull cables above ceilings in my job. Thank you

[@RushitShukla]

JUST ANOTHER COMMENT LETTING YOU KNOW YOUR VIDEOS PROVIDE A LOT OF GOOD AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE MOST SIMPLEST AND EASIEST WAY ANYONE COULD. THANKS .

You always save my a*s thank you so much as your channel has provided me a lot of quality stuff in very less time I really appreciate your work hope I'll meet you one day to thank you.

[@danb7856]

I did an electrical course for a year. Anyone interested in advancing their IT infrastructure/networking knowledge can’t recommend an electrical course enough. So much transferable knowledge

[@SyedMuzammilMahasanShahi]

Your work is always excellent. Thanks for the share.

[@ravuthoum3626]

Your videos are always the best!

I want more......more updated material.....so much to conver....operating systems, A+ 1001 exam, linux+, etc.....you are doing great....

[@jctoves]

It’s a very simplistic understanding, but good for somebody who doesn’t understand smoke developed and flame developed requirements.

[@bright6706]

From Bangladesh.... Great Explanation Sir....

[@michaellocklear6396]

When i used to run cable for a living when ever we ran any Cat5 cable in a building in the ceiling or walls they always used plenum cable just so we would not have any issues with the fire chief allot of the cables we where running where new office buildings every once in a while i was at an existing building like Chick-fil-A headquarters just outside Atlanta i dont miss thous days. LOL

[@klwthe3rd]

So when did you use Riser cables?

[@michaellocklear6396]

@@klwthe3rd Usually only big one story collages or office building's from wall to closet we would build the rack,s and install them from the ground up and terminate & label everything man this was back in 2000, 2001 i got layed off after 9/11. they would give us big boxes of Cat 5 or Cat 6 depends on the contract i guess. also did a bunch or fiber coax and bundled cat five cables make a crap ton or T1's

[@carlossm5638]

I love your videos man, you are awesome :D

[@blakkabwoyyt4249]

thanks to all your video good explanation and easy to understand with you

[@MwishaLudack]

Excellent. I'm not ashamed to say that you explained this even better than Mike Meyers (nothing personal Mike). By the way, we're still waiting for you to start a course online...

[@gift2god294]

[@shazib1081]

Awesome video, I thought riser and Plenum cables are the same. Well now I know they are not!😜

[@sleimansalameh6443]

wonderful info

[@averagehooligan620]

Question: Why are your videos so good?

[@YannMetalhead]

Good video.

[@canupoa]

In a lot of new construction of the last few years open ceilings are now being enforced as plenum spaces. If you don't understand why: take the first image with drop ceiling, remove the drop ceiling and the ducting, leaving just the supply and return vents. Any living space or office space is a plenum, air is being moved there. If you want to make a building a non plenum space, remove the roof.

[@Vicky-bd9js]

Hi, Would you do more videos on cables as well as cable laying conduits used for outdoor cable laying. Your videos very informative.

[@Deegan_Prashanth]

Thank you!

[@toddstewart9070]

I installed plain cheap cat5 non e cable throughout the house in 1998. All of my wired devices will do long sustained 1gbit transfers no problem. I haven't tried to take it any higher than that though.

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Thanks!

[@tonya.2645]

First time on the channel. Nice explanations but, the professionals already know this stuff. I assume this video is for regular people, in which case, the illustrations using office buildings are not applicable. What cable type should one run in a US home's attic space and in a home's walls behind drywall sheet rock, with or without insulation? Thank you.

[@SivaRamaKrishnaNallajarla]

Brother please make video on different operating system's!

Why CM Cabel use in places like Computer Device where they are more probability of them getting fired up
