NEC Article 770

[FaradayFF]

Greetings,

I went through Article 770 and didn't find any language that would prohibit installing fiber optic patch cords in conduits inside a facility. I need to run patch cords a short distance(~20 feet) between panels, and it would seem to make more sense to use patch cords versus regular fiber optic cable which would require more effort with the terminations.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Regards,
EE

Why would you think the even NEC cares about such things?

I see nothing wrong with what you want to do.
