Is there a length limitation on how far you can run unmarked insulated conductors that come from an composite fiber cable after stripping back the cable sheath?
Some background:
I'm working on a network design using composite fiber & copper cabling. We are using a CL3P-OF listed cable with a fiber subunit and insulated copper conductors in an overall jacket. My problem is that while the conductors and the fiber need to go to the same room, they don't go to the same cabinet. So we need to strip back 10-30ft of the cable sheath to route the (now loose, and unmarked) insulated conductors to the correct cabinet. As I read the marking requirements of the NEC all conductors and cables are supposed to be marked. Is there some provision that would allow us to run these conductors straight to the power system (Class 2 power source)? Am I just over thinking this?
Thanks!
