Note: When installing into a plenum type ceiling, plenum rated wire
may be required by local or national electrical codes. Some suspended
ceilings are considered plenums; open ceilings are not. Plenum rated
wire is typically more costly than non-plenum. Choose the correct
wire type based on your applicable local and national electrical codes.
For general reference, CBS wiring falls under NEC (National Electrical
Code) Class 2 type.
