Project Description

Purchasers, specifiers, installers and inspectors of telecommunication cables placed in risers or plenums during building construction or upgrade must be aware that cables that do not meet safety requirements present a significant risk of hastening the spread of fire. This represents an unacceptable risk — and avoidable hazard — to building occupants and owners.

Manufacturers marketing and selling communications cables with counterfeit certification marks or without certification marks face a potential serious fire risk, especially when the cable is rated for plenum or risers.
