PVC/Riser grade versus Plenum grade Ethernet cableI found about half a 1000ft roll of Cat 5 Ethernet cable. As far as I understand, it's Space ShuttleCAT5e350MHz24AWG4 Twisted PairsSolid conductors
What is the price difference between plenum grade and general purpose cable?
Here in Louisville, KY General purpose runs for about 75$ a box and Plenum is $250.
What is CMP rating?

Plenum refers to a type of building and how its air is exchanged. When a bulding is on fire and the cable starts to burn it gives off toxic fumes and will kill you. Plenum cabling is coated differently for burning purposes.

The type of cable is called 'plenum' cable. There will be a P in the cable designation. For instance:CM means communication cable not suitable for plenums.CMP means communication cable suitable for plenums.

What type of cable would you use for the horizontal spaces and the vertical links for a traditional star network?
Cat6 is the current standard for new installations of ethernet cable. Depending on the space and certain building codes you need to decide between Plenum (CMP) or Riser (CMR). The difference being Riser cable is more durable, but puts out toxic fumes when caught on fire, so it is not suitable for spaces with open air flow. Dropped ceilings are generally considered Plenum spaces so therefore require plenum cable.
