But 800.133 is for wires and cables attached to the outside of the building,
800.133 (A)(2) is for inside, separation for conductors not cables.
If you can accept that a cat 5 cable can run along side a RMC, then a cat 5 cable is allowed along side a NM cable. the NM and RMC are both chapter 3 wiring methods




I read this as repetitively addressing individual conductors vs. cables as well Tom.

In layman's terms that would be ok to run Cat 5 alongside NM , through the same hole(s) ,not ok in the same JB, troffer, etc

Do we agree?

Yes, cables and conductors through a single hole are not the same thing. Two cables are permitted in one hole even if one of the cables is "low voltage".
