Plenum Air Coax Cable
Fire-rated half-inch coax for commercial buildings
In commercial installations of 50-ohm cell signal amplifier systems, your best choice for connecting indoor antennas is to use half-inch plenum air coax.
Commercial building codes typically require the use of fire-rated cable in plenum spaces—areas with HVAC air circulation, like those above a drop ceiling or under a raised floor. Plenum air cable is jacketed with fire-retardant plastic that will reduce the release of toxic fumes in the event of a fire. (For outdoor cable runs, use half-inch foam PE coax.)
Plenum air coax cable also has extremely low signal loss—nearly half that of 400-type cable—providing better performance and allowing for longer cable runs. Even if your building codes do not have a plenum requirement, using plenum air coax will give you the strongest possible signal in your office or other large building.
