There’s something even better than MOCA. Black electrical tape. You tape the cat5 to the end of the coax and then pull really hard and then you get great performance.
This house did not have cat5 installed anywhere, but it had both coax and cat3 for the old school phone lines/intercom system.
During the inspection I removed some wall plates and noted that there indeed appeared to be properly installed conduit in every box I spot-checked. Inspectors noted the same.
After I moved in and got all the supplies ordered and staged to start removing coax/cat3 using them as pull strings for my expensive fancy new CAT6 wiring I found out something super fun...
The builder had decided to cheat the code inspectors by installing every single box with only about a foot of conduit attached to the boxes. After that they simply stapled the wiring to the studs every so often making pulling cable with them impossible. At least it appears they did indeed use conduit for the AC power.
Not entirely related to your point, but it's something that still makes my blood pressure increase a tick even remembering it enough to describe here.
What went from a weekend of pulling new cable with conveniently placed pull strings turned in to a month's-long ordeal of running new cat6 through the house and then another couple weeks of drywall repair for all the holes needed to do so.
Did you have any recourse against the builder? Maybe through your homeowner's insurance?
i guess catX and coax are low voltage and covered by nec
Some places have not broadly adopted the NEC at all. For instance: In Ohio, NEC adoption is handled at a more-local level, and many places simply have never handled that at all.
My point is that things like the National Electrical Code simply aren't "national" at all. Regardless of how it is named, it is a privately-published rulebook that jurisdictions can elect to use, but are in no way required to use.
What is it that you are hoping to add to this conversation?
I'm not going to review the other 49 points that your map may presume to present, for it does not refute anything about my initial claim at all even as-presented: Instead, it shows that the National Electrical Code is, in fact, not national.
