window treatment moter 120v cords

[Bradmillerelectric]

I am installing 120v wiring for motor controled window treatments.
the problem is that the window treatments come with a cord with a female plug on the one end and a tail to be hard wire on the other end (the cords are rubber cords). The installation is taking place in a commercial building and the only way to install the cords to meet the standards is to drill through the drywall in the ceiling where the treatments are being mounted and run the cord aprox. 4ft. to a accessible jbox above a drop ceiling. I forgot to mention the female end plugs into the listed motor. Can anyone give me any info if this would be acceptable to code or not and please give me some refrerences.

I don't have alot of experience with these but I have done some. I have always installed a j box at the window treatment and wired it into that. Sometimes you can hide it behind the window treatment itself. You can not run that cord through the drywall and you can not run that cord in the dropped ceiling.

What if I was to protect it in blue carlon flex with a listed carlon conn. at the jbox and feed the cord throufgh
