N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 820.133: Section 820.133

Section 820.133(A)(1)(b) – Revise Section 820.133(A)(1)(b) to read as follows:

(b)

Electric Light, Power, Class 1, and Medium-Power Network-Powered Broadband Communications Circuits. Coaxial cable shall not be placed in any raceway, compartment, outlet box, junction box, or other enclosures with conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, or medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits.

Exception No. 1: Coaxial cable shall be permitted to be placed in any raceway, compartment, outlet box, junction box, or other enclosures with conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, or medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits where all of the conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, and medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits are separated from all of the coaxial cables by a permanent barrier or listed divider.

Exception No. 2: Coaxial cable shall be permitted to be placed in outlet boxes, junction boxes, or similar fittings or compartments with power conductors where such conductors are introduced solely for power supply to the coaxial cable system distribution equipment. The power circuit conductors shall be routed within the enclosure to maintain a minimum 1/4 in. (6 mm) separation from coaxial cables.

Section 820.133(A)(2) – Revise Section 820.133(A)(2) to read as follows:

(2) Other Applications. Coaxial cable shall be separated at least 2 in. (50 mm) from conductors of any electric light, power, Class 1, or medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits.

Exception No. 1: Separation shall not be required where either (1) all of the conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, and medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits are in a raceway, or in metal-sheathed, metal-clad, nonmetallic-sheathed, Type AC or Type UF cables, or (2) all of the coaxial cables are encased in a raceway.

Exception No. 2: Separation shall not be required where the coaxial cables are permanently separated from the conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, and medium-power network-powered broadband communications circuits by a continuous and firmly fixed nonconductor, such as porcelain tubes or flexible tubing, in addition to the insulation on the wire.

Section 820.133(C) – Add a new Section 820.133(C) to read as follows:

(C) Electrical Equipment Rooms. Television and radio equipment and cabling shall not be installed in Electrical Equipment Rooms unless otherwise permitted in this code.
