In a recent Q&A on the FacilityCare website, consultant Brad Keyes answered a question about fiber optic cables.
Q: Can fiber optic and low-voltage cables be attached or strapped to conduit? Also, what certification is needed for individuals who perform the annual line isolation monitor (LIM) tests in operating rooms?
A: No, cables and wires are not permitted to be strapped to conduit unless the cables or wires control the circuit inside the conduit. This is a huge problem in many hospitals as many facilities did not adhere to article 300-11(b) of the 1999 NFPA 70 National Electric Code requirement for many years.
