Note: The cable connector is keyed so the cable can only be inserted one way.
The cable acts somewhat like a null modem cable in that the transmit from one
end of the cable connects to the receive at the other end of the cable. The cable
connectors are typically labeled A and B. In addition, one strand of the cable is
labeled (with the vendor name and other information) while the other strand is
unlabeled.

Notes:
1. Plenum cables are designed for installation in air ducts. Plenum materials are
manufactured to meet UL standards for flammability (produce little smoke).
2. Riser cables can be used in computer rooms. Riser cable materials are not classified
according to flammability or toxic gas emissions.
