Can lighting track be powered by a live-end connector that has a manufacturer supplied cord that plugs into a receptacle?

is the outlet above a t bar ceiling? that won't work.
how about a track current limiter? track current limiter is used in order to comply with California Title 24 or ASHRAE 90.1 requirements. If your area is covered by one of those regulations, you will need a track current limiter.

No, the receptacle is not above a t-bar ceiling, it's on the wall. My area does not require a current limiter to my knowledge. The reason I ask is because the code says the track needs to be permanently connected to a branch circuit, but the manufacturer supplies this device as an option.

doubted that you did require one.
AHJ is going to be the final vote on this one.
if you have a UL listed connection, that should be acceptable, but i'm guessing here that
the intent of the code with regard to track to to prevent those "loving hands of home"
installs with a cord running 20' across a room. if this is a complete connection assembly
and you aren't modifying it in any way, i don't see how it got a UL listing if it's a direct
violation of the NEC.
