plenums
Full assembly meetings
Plenums is the plural of plenum, a space completely filled with matter—the opposite of a vacuum.
In building systems, a plenum is an enclosed chamber where air circulates under pressure, typically above a dropped ceiling or below a raised floor: The HVAC contractor ran cables through the plenums.
Plenum-rated cables are designed for use in these spaces, meeting fire safety codes.
