Simplex Plenum Fiber Cable

Fiber Savvy simplex cables are designed for general patch cord production where consistency and uniformity are vital for fast, efficient terminations. Fiber Savvy simplex cables are offered in several outside diameter sizes and meet all tooling and termination requirements.

According to National Electric Code (NEC), a plenum is a "compartment or chamber to which one or more air ducts are connected and forms part of the air distribution system." That is to say, as a plenum, the space above an acoustic tile ceiling would have to extend above other rooms in the same building or be open to ducts connecting it to other parts of the building. The concern is that during a fire, if there is burning material in a plenum air space, smoke and fumes can travel through air ducts to the whole building. For this reason, there are codes to restrict the types of materials (such as cables) that can be placed in the plenum.
