CAT5 in Hazardous Areas

[jmalter]

We need to run some Cat5 TSP cable through a Class 1 Div 2 area on cable tray. The cable is just passing through the area. The cables enter and the room through sealed conduits.

Can we use plenum rated cable? or do we need to run the cable is treaded conduit throughout the room?
