While I'm building my basement HT, I bought a bunch of Belken 1694a RG6 cable to cable several upstairs rooms for cable/satellite. In addition, I am wiring for 2 phone lines & a network, using CAT5. In one room, I cannot drill through floor's base plate to run cable from the basement. Looks like for a halfway decent placement, I will need to follow some duct work up.
Question, can non-plenum cable be used in a plenum area if I use conduit (probably PVC)? Or if I buy a small run of plenum cable, can I splice RG6 below so I use my existing (1000'!) stock? Or would I have to run the plenum rated RG6 back to the source? Same question for CAT5.
Thanks!
