From the photo that does not appear to be a listed raceway. I don't see any issue with it.

The cleaner install would have been to mount the injector just to the L of power outlet, figure 8 the power zip tie/velcro L/R side of figure 8. Extend the panduit/raceway(I believe) to just above the new injector location. Then notch the raceway above the data outlet for patch cord back to injector. Or the CLEANEST way....pull everything back above grid and mount/attach a baby nema box up top! Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps!

Doesn't matter if that's a listed raceway or not or just clamps or staples Flexible cords and power cords shall not be attached to a surface.
That said, I do it every day...
Actually, that would be code compliant except for attaching the bunched up power cord to the wall.

It sounds like this is a violation as per 400.12.
Uses not permitted......
-Cannot be a substitute for fixed wiring.
-Cords cannot be attached to building surfaces.
-Cords cannot be installed in a raceway.
The best solution is to install the outlet near the device.
Do others agree?
