Does anyone know where the code allows flexible cords and cables to be installed in raceways?

Thanks.

Re: 400.8(6)

400.14 Protection from Damage.
Flexible cords and cables shall be protected by bushings or fittings where passing through holes in covers, outlet boxes, or similar enclosures.
In industrial establishments where the conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons service the installation, flexible cords and cables shall be permitted to be installed in aboveground raceways that are no longer than 15 m (50 ft) to protect the flexible cord or cable from physical damage. Where more than three current-carrying conductors are installed within the raceway, the allowable ampacity shall be reduced in accordance with Table 400.5.

Thanks Ryan. Are you aware of any other sections of the code other than 400.x?

551.47(P)(2)(c), which applies to a flexible cord used to connect a slideroom to the main part of a recreational vehicle.

Is that a change in the 05 nec?
