It is CM rated. OK for in wall, but not commercial building risers nor plenums. I would look for at least CMR rating (riser) or even better plenum rated cable. Might be easier to find in CAT5E than CAT6

CM rated so it okay for in wall use.

  • CL/CM/CMG: These cable jackets are suitable for use in all ordinary situations, with CL cables used for audio/visual applications and CM/CMG used for communications applications like Ethernet. They’ve passed what’s called a “vertical tray flame test,” meaning they don’t ordinarily spread flames more than eight feet. You can install these rated-cables in the wall or ceiling, and don’t have to worry about things like risers and plenums in home use.
