Just remember that air movement can greatly accelerate the spread of 
fire and smoke, so anything you run through an air duct should be 
fire-resistant and have low-smoke-producing characteristics.  For 
this reason, the NEC says that communication cables installed in air 
ducts and plenums must be of a special type (which costs roughly 
three times what regular cable costs).
