No results showed up when I searched CMP.

I have to have CMP ( Plenum ) data wire for our small office, the area above the drop ceiling is all a return plenum for the hvac. Thus requiring CMP rated cable.

It's proving difficult to locate true cmp, fully copper and in various colors.

Monoprice only carries 2 options, Cat6/Ct6A. One is out of stock and neither come in various colors. They have Cat6A in blue, but I want to reserve that for all of our data drops. We have about 150 right now. I love the idea that they are color coded as well it creates a lot of ease when in the ceiling messing and running stuff.

They don't even have any CMP in cat5e as a back up option. I'm finding super mixed reviews throughout amazon so that's sketchy.

Are their any online reputable sellers who have this? I've contacted half a dozen local IT/Security distributers and none will sell to the public. I have to have a contractors license.

Thanks!

Well, It seems im blind. Cable Wholesale seems to have everything I need.

Anyone know if they are reputable?




I'm going to leave this thread because nothing else showed up under search results for CMP and should help future users

I bought some cable from them in 2007 and 2008, no problems, decent shipping, reasonable prices. They're still alive 15 years later so I'd say that's a good sign (they haven't screwed the wrong people, at least). :cool:

True cable is a good place. Also firefold is another that has stuff on sale at times and it looks like the 5e cmp I like to use from them is on sale:
