Curious what you guys use( raceway) when running the (3) low voltage wires from a power pack to occ sensor when install in a recessed ceiling.

Don't think they make a MC cable or another cable assembly that has these 24v wires. Thinking many use FMC with the wires!!??
Also, can't run these wires without protection. Thanks.
 
Just use a 3-wire, CL2 or better #18 AWG cable. If the space is used for air handling make sure that it's plenum rated. You can splice right on to the sensor in the ceiling no box required.

The cable can’t be run “free air” without some sort of conduit/raceway. Thought box always required for sensor.

18/3, just tell the distributer has to be plenum rated when ordering.
