Customer wants to install a PLTC/ITC (low voltage instrument) cable with Served Wire Armor (UL Listed) in cable tray in an industrial environment. Cable tray has some separations (about 18 inches) but trays are bonded. NEC Article 392.6 states "conductors from one tray to another can be installed if cable is not run a distance greater than 6 feet and the conductors are secured to the cable trays at the transitions and they are protected by guarding or by location from physical damage. Customer believes this cable is suitable for this installation. Local inspector wants cable to be ITC-ER listed. We believe ITC-ER is only required when distance outside of Tray or conduit etc is greater than 6 feet.
