I agree with Bob, but, for what it's worth......
Gus: "Do I understand that the consensus of opinion is that my condensate pump with a 4 ft factory cord can be plugged in and used above a suspended ceiling as long as the pump/cord/plug are all above the ceiling ?"

This is indeed interesting.
Glancing through the book and looking at 'uses permitted' and 'uses not permitted' I can see no other articles that contain the phrase 'unless specifically permitted in (uses permitted).
How does this make sense? A use can only be 'not permitted' if it's already not permitted?
400.8 states, in part, 'Unless specifically permitted in 400.7, flexible cords and cables shall not be used for the following:'
400.7 states, in part, that 'Flexible cords and cables shall
only be used for the following:'
So, in order for 400.8 to apply, there has to be a 400.7 violation?
That's just crazy.
