A plenum cable for transmitting various communication signals is
described. The cable contains a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated
conductors with an insulation that contains substantially no FEP or
fluoropolymers. Rather, the insulation contains one or more layers
containing an polyolefin material and the outermost layer comprises a
flame-retardant polyolefin material. The cable can use a standard
plenum-grade PVC jacket. Using this design for the cable lowers the cost
by eliminating FEP while using a standard, plenum-grade PVC jacket that
requires no modifications.
