I am working on a gas station site that has a set of direct buried fiber optic cables running under our fuel dispenser island.
According to the electrician contractor we will be in violation of NEC code once fuel is delivered.
I understand the danger of cooper communication lines that do not have conduit and EY?s at the termination/start points but this fiber line runs through the site and has a heavy plastic insulation.
My question is:
Does this fiber cable put the site in violation of any NEC code once fuel (gasoline & diesel) is delivered?
I appreciate your replies.
Thank you,
Steve
