i think the guy is fukin with ya... mic cables dont carry anything capable of starting a fire...
I am building a studio and I want to install microphone cables in the walls. The electrical inspector is saying that it has to have an FT4 fire rating. Has anybody heard of this? A lot of people I talk to say this is crap.
Please help.
Thanks
I never just roll over and play dead when an inspector barks - first i make him prove his case.
Yes. Thanks Alan. I am looking at conduit also.
But I am really curious about the cat6. I can't believe nobody has tried this yet. Theory says it should work very well.

Well, according to the list of form Mogami, this cable is designed to withstand 500V DC for 15 seconds, if you look at the tension special allocation. But why in the world want to do this.
Seeing he was building the studio 6 months ago, it may have been built by now? I all started because of a building inspector.

CAT6 UTP would not be a good product for this type of use... FTP or STP would be better choices. Same properties as UTP except for the addition of the foil outer shield for FTP plus the individual pair shields for STP.
Don't use the stuff rated for direct burial, since it contains a gel that is highly flammable and not rated for indoor use. Use plenum rated cabling.
