could someone help me locate information on cmuc cable for under carpet wiring. I believe it used to be in 725.61(E)(6) but I cannot find it in the 2023 code book.
Thanks for your assistance
 
I don't have the book in front of me but aren't CMUC cables in Article 800?
 
I had to look for it but it is mentioned in 725.154 and 725.135(K), (L), and (M) (6)

I'm not familiar with it.

I installed miles of UCC's in the 80's both power and communications. I'm surprised that anyone still uses it.
 
thanks for your time, In the 2023 nec, the only reference I found was in table 722.179(B)

Roger,
I can't find 725.154 or 725.135 in 2023
I know many codes ago it was 725.61(E)(6) but that also has been removed

I was looking at 2020
 
What's the actual question regarding these cables? Look at 800.113, 800.179(G), Table 800.154(a),(b),(c).
 
the actual question was
what type of class 2 or 3 cables are permitted to be run under a carpet?

they gave 3 options if I remember correctly, they were
CL3P
CL2P-PL
CMUC
and one other
 
fantastic thanks, I just went straight to 725 since it was referencing class 2 and 3, but thanks for your time and assistance
