Just passed my Texas Master E1 but there was one question I just have not been able to find in the code book.

What is the maximum length for a flexible cord secured to the ceiling with a tensioning device?
2ft
4ft
6ft
8ft.

The question may not be exact but close. Any idea of where you would find the answer in the 2008 NEC?

Look at 368.56(B) (It's referenced from 400.8{4}) See if that is the correct animal.

Gus,
You really know your code. Yes, that is the question exactly. I never would have thought to look for it in 368 as it said 'ceiling' in the question so I was thinking general wiring.

But, as luck would have it, I guess 6 feet, which is the correct answer.

But glad to have finally found it, thanks again.
