Communications cable shares a pathway with power conductors without a listed barrier or specific permission. What must be checked?
- AOnly the communications cable color
- BWhether both systems belong to the same owner
- CWhether the pathway has unused space
- Apply separation and association rules
Why D is correct
Power and communications circuits can present shock, fire, and induced-voltage concerns. Compliance depends on circuit classification, cable listing, pathway arrangement, barriers, and explicit permissions; ownership and visible spare space do not establish safe association.
