flashlight said:Can anybody say which article it falls under ?
dlhoule said:Article 800
don_resqcapt19 said:How does Article 800 apply? Computer wiring is not in the scope of the article.
iwire said:IMO that would depend entirely on what it is being used for. It may be 800 or 725.
hbiss said:Data wiring is not specifically mentioned in the NEC other than data wiring that carries power also.
don_resqcapt19 said:I think that you can make a case that computer cabling is Article 725...
hbiss said:The NEC doesn't define "data wiring", perhaps that is a subject for a revision.
hbiss said:There is no (in the normal sense) current or voltage present in a data circuit. However, voice wiring can have in excess of 50 volts present and is classfied as a communications circuit under Artical 800.
What about Article 830? From the '02 NEC:
830.1 Scope. This article covers network-powered broadband communications systems that provide any combination of voice, audio, video, data, and interactive services through a network interface unit.
