In-wall NEC rated wire types and applications

Low-voltage, in-wall rated wire comes in many forms that work together to create a versatile lighting system.

CM Communications General Purpose Cable
General Purpose cable is best suited for common areas – the open areas in which we live and work. So, when looking for in-wall wire for cabinet-to-cabinet, hanging shelf or other non-plenum or non-riser (vertical between floors) installations, this option works well.

CMP Communications Plenum Cable
Plenum cable offers a flame retardant coating which makes the product suitable for spaces above dropped ceilings or below raised floors that are used for heating ventilation or air conditioning.

CL3P Class 3 Plenum Cable
Class 3 allows the wire to take on higher levels of voltage (300V) than Class 2 (150V). This Plenum-rated product is suitable for spaces above dropped ceilings or below raised floors that are used for heating ventilation or air conditioning.
