What does Plenum mean?
“Plenum” or ‘” Plenum Space” is a space between the structural ceiling and the dropped ceiling. This part of a building facilitates air circulation for air conditioning and heating.

This space not only hides all the electrical cables but also makes the organization easy and simple.
What are the Plenum Rated HDMI cables?
A. HDMI Cables that can be laid in the plenum spaces of a building without getting damaged by the temperature of air conditioning and heating during air circulation are said to be Plenum Rated HDMI Cables.
How are Plenum HDMI cables made? And what makes them different from any ordinary HDMI Cable?
Plenum HDMI cables are jacketed with a fire-retardant plastic jacket. These plastic jackets are either made with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Fluorinated ethylene polymer (FEP). Both of these are low smoke materials that can resist fire at high temperatures. Whereas, an ordinary HDMI cable lacks this unique feature and hence, cannot be installed in plenum spaces.
