Plenum rated coaxial cable is required in surveillance system installation where cable is installed in a plenum open-air circulation system.  Since the cable is installed in the same area where the air is circulated throughout a building, the plenum cable has a special compound that will ensure the cable burns slow, while stopping harmful gases from entering the air system.  These gases would cripple people as they try to leave the building in the case of a real fire.  Using plenum rated cables and BNC connectors are mandatory, so it is important to evaluate your local building codes and use the products that they specify in installations for a particular building.  Plenum rated RG59 coaxial cable is the most common video cable used in commercial surveillance applications.  This is the cable that delivers the video signal from the security cameras back to the security DVR. The connection is made to the security camera and security DVR via BNC connectors.  

Plenum rated BNC connectors are sized to support the size of the cable jacket on the plenum BNC connector.  The jacket size is much different than the non-plenum counterpart.   So it is important to use plenum rated BNC connectors whenever you use plenum rated CCTV cables.  Using the right BN connector with your cable will also ensure your installation goes smooth.  Since BNC connectors are manufacturers specifically to fit their cables, using the wrong BNC connector could slow down your project and at the same time could cause your video signals to fail.   It is always recommended to evaluate the type of cable you are terminating, and then choose the right connector to fit it.  The cables specifications should always be clearly documented right on the cables jacket.  So it should be easy for your get the cable information prior to buying connectors.
