CAT 6 Installation and Fire Codes
I'm in California, and I am planning on running some CAT 6 behind the sheetrock and probably feeding it up the ceiling and back down the walls. What kind of cabling should I use? I was thinking of using Plenum (which I think is a law) CAT 6 with a rigid outer layer (would this be called solid?). There are so many options, which is best to use?

Standard solid cable is fine within the walls. Plenum is only required when it passes through "return" or "supply" air space such as above T-Bar ceilings if used as a plenum. Big fines here if you get caught not using the right cable.
