1900 type quad boxes when I see them are destroyed and not sent back to the company that made them even if marked as to owner when they don't get back to the owner.
I know this is an very old post, but Destroying other peoples property, is not the way to deal with this. It is illegal, and you will probably at some point be charged for the equipment, and if you don't pay, you will be sued and probably loose. Try to be a professional about the situation.
Well aware of that. However, with the number of exceptions out there for to allow for SJ cable I'm not really sure if I see the point anymore. The whip of a fixture and a lead of a soca breakout get the most abuse out of any cabling and yet we are OK with SJ there. Just don't run SJ between the two. I do get the point of the SO everywhere stuff. We spent 30k on cable to ensure we had SO everywhere just a few years ago. We are already in the phase where we are running powercon or powercon-True1 on everything and daisy chaining. Unless there is someone doing it that I'm not aware of, I have only seen those jumpers built out of SJ cable. Both Lex and Whirlwind do SJ as standard on these types of connectors. It might not be right, but it is being done. I put it right up there with the 3 pin DMX thing. Might not be right, but it became industry standard anyway.
Very true. Most fixtures and extensions these days from manufactures are NOT SO cable. I don't think powercon true one connectors can even fit over so cable, at least they do not appear to be designed for it.
NEC had a lot of gaps in the code, and it is very slow to adapt to modern technologies. Although people will argue with me, and they will be WRONG. NEC IS NOT THE LAW. It's codes are adopted by many jurisdictions, but requirements vary.
