Plenum wire is not about overheating, it is about not carrying
flame from one place to another.  Many building materials char,
and don't act as fuses-as-in-explosives.  Sometimes it is poorly
made wire that carries fire around.

That said, the next adventure on plug-talk is Stablok Electrical Boxes.
