Got something thrown in my lap today.. the responsibility of running the telephone line(s) to a fire alarm panel. Admittedlly through some misunderstanding in our contract.. blah blah.. its our baby now. The building is 55000sq ft add on to an existing beer distribution warehouse. NO big deal except in this situation the fire alarm panel is about 700ft from the telco room, top it off the the super doesnt demand conduit but says hes almost certain it needs it. I expect the fire marshall will have a little stronger opinion. My question is.. is the conduit required and is the cable required to be anything special (planned on just a cat5). Ceilings are exposed steel web joist all the way. My appologies, i just cant seem to come across anything in the nec on the subject, just thought someone out there might be a good quik reference
