Until your competition bids PVC, explains that you were selling them something that they didn't need and costs double........then you'll care!!

On the small jobs I make it clear to the customer that Plenum is a legal requirement for their office........On larger Bid type jobs I have always found Plenum is spec-ed in by the companies IT MGR or Engineer (RCDD) etc.

Its much easier to work with plenum cable. It saves so much time when terminating. Dont yo agree?

Some of the older plenum cable was a lot harder to work with, the jacket was very brittle. Now it seems to be the same whether it's plenum or PVC.

I can't say for sure that terminating CMP goes any quicker than CMR (at least for me). Now the twisting in CAT3 is less critical than CAT5 or 6 so I can terminate CAT3 quicker than the others.

You guys are phone techs. I dont expect for you to terminate more then 2 jacks at a time. Once again dont mean to disrespect.
But when did you guys do your last pp?
