In our new 480V MCC's we're installing electronic relays, specifically GE Multilin MM300's. These relays have an Ethernet port that can talk to a PLC, computer, or anything else via the Modbus/TCP protocol. I'm trying to figure out the best way to run Cat 6 cable into the MCC to each bucket. Take a look at this thread for the code background on this topic. I'm wondering how to accomplish the physical separation required by 725.136(B) while bringing one cable out to each bucket as I am allowed to do under 725.136(D). These are GE 9000 series MCCs installed in 15' x 69' electrical equipment enclosures which sit elevated on concrete piers. Power cable comes from cable tray into the bottom of the MCC and low voltage cable goes out the top of the MCC into a cable tray. Any ideas?

Run the Cat 6 inside LFNC or LFMC
This is exactly what Square D does with their 'Power Link' remote controlled breakers.
