[Tfug] CMP *in* ductwork?

[Harry McGregor]

Hi,

Personal soap box....

I *HATE* CMP aka Plenum cabling.

US building codes are based on visible smoke, and CMP cabling has Teflon 
in it to increase the temp at which it gives off visible smoke.

Personally I prefer the .eu way, which is more worried about bad things 
in the smoke then the amount or when the smoke starts (ie low halogen 
cabling).

In either case, I have seen CMP cabling run inside duct work, don't know 
if I would recommend it with evap or heavy heating loads....
