We have a hole between floors that must be about 3 inch by 16 inch, that
allows the 100 pair telephone cables to pass between the electrical room
on one floor to the same room on the floor above and below. This is
just an open hole, no fire stop or anything. I would like to put
something in it to stop the air from flowing thru to the next floor, so
that drywall construction going on on one floor doesn't fill the other
floors up with dust. I was thinking of getting some rags or plastic and
stuffing it in there. Is there something that I can use that will work
that's removable so that next time a cable needs to be run, it won't
require a hammer and chisel or drill? Thanks.

If you just want to stop the airflow and dust, then a block of
styrofoam or something similar. If you want some protection for fire
along with that, then firestop bricks held in a wire frame or basket.

Yeah, I was just reading the other followup that suggested using
firestop pillows. I wonder where I could get them. Thanks.
