Technically wiring shouldnt be in any ducts because the air flow will

I believe BX, EMT and similar are ok to pass through plenums.


Don't they make wire that's specifically rated
for use in plenums?


Yes, for comm. type wire like cat 5. It's not commonly found in power
type electrical wire though, the norm there is to use metal armored wire
like BX or metal conduit.
