Explore Plenum-Rated and Fire-Retardant Options with VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Solutions

The people who use your building naturally expect a clean, professional and organized workspace. Throughout the day, they may depend on phones, security cameras, climate control systems, television screens and more to complete their tasks, whether they're teaching a class, providing patient care, shopping or closing a deal. To provide access to these solutions, you'll likely need to run commercial cabling from devices in the office setting to equipment closets and data centers, all while ensuring that the cable pathways are out of sight. 

One way to accomplish this is to utilize the plenum space. The plenum space, otherwise known as the area between the structural ceiling and the drop ceiling or under a raised floor, requires special solutions due to the high volume of oxygen found in this space. Fires can easily spark and spread throughout a building. How do you help prevent them? Turn to plenum-rated cables and fasteners. They're less toxic and help to prevent fires, and installers are often required to use them (depending on your local standards). 

And it's not just about the cables! Your hook and loop ties must also be compliant with the standards. VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® FR Tape is UL-rated and suitable for use in air handling spaces in accordance with Section 300.22 (C) and (D) of the National Electrical Code. It also can be unwrapped and reused many times during its lifespan; compared with traditional single-use plastic alternatives, these fasteners eliminate the risk of puncturing cables during moves, adds or changes and reduce waste.
