Re: New house: cat5e/cat6 type for wiring? If your house is burning down, who gives a shit if the cable burns, too?
If the cable is what started the fire in the first place, well, HOW?!? Unless he's using cat5e to power a welder, I think he'll be fine.
Also, (if the house is burning down) with the amount of smoke coming from the house and all the various materials in it, I doubt a tad more smoke from a little cat5e cable is going to make a difference.
Plenum cable is simply NOT necessary in a residential installation.

The reason for Plenum rated cable is to delay the onset of combustion until the space is already incompatible with life. This is important if cable is in air handling ducts but I agree it is overkill for residential use.
