it serves, the primary protector ground shall be connected to a grounding conductor in accordance with 800.100(B)(2).

(B) Bonding. The primary protector grounding terminal or grounding electrode shall be connected to the metal frame or available grounding terminal of the mobile home with a copper grounding conductor not smaller than 12 AWG under either of the following conditions:

(1) Where there is no mobile home service equipment or disconnecting means as in 800.106(A)

(2) Where the mobile home is supplied by cord and plug V. Installation Methods Within Buildings

800.110 Raceways for Communications Wires and Cables. Where communications wires and cables are in- stalled in a raceway, the raceway shall be either of a type permitted in Chapter 3 and installed in accordance with Chapter 3 or listed plenum communications raceway, listed riser communications raceway, or listed general-purpose communications raceway installed in accordance with 800.154 and installed in accordance with 362.24 through 362.56, where the requirements applicable to electrical nonmetallic tubing apply. The raceway fill tables of Chapter 3 and Chapter 9 shall not apply.

800.113 Installation of Communications Wires and Cables. Communications cables installed in buildings shall be listed.

Exception: Communications cables that comply with

800.48 shall not be required to be listed.

800.133 Installation of Communications Wires, Cables, and Equipment. Communications wires and cables from the protector to the equipment or, where no protector is required, communications wires and cables attached to the outside or inside of the building shall comply with 800.133(A) through (C).

(A) Separation from Other Conductors.

(1) In Raceways, Cable Trays, Boxes, and Cables.

(a) Other Power-Limited Circuits. Communications cables shall be permitted in the same raceway, cable

tray, or enclosure with cables of any of the following:

(1) Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits in compliance with Article

725

(2) Power-limited fire alarm systems in compliance with

Article 760

(3) Nonconductive and conductive optical fiber cables in compliance with Article 770

(4) Community antenna television and radio distribution systems in compliance with Article 820

(5) Low-power network-powered broadband communications circuits in compliance with Article

830
(b) Class 2 and Class 3 Circuits. Class 1 circuits shall not be run in the same cable with communications circuits. Class 2 and Class 3 circuit conductors shall be permitted in the same cable with communications circuits, in which case the Class 2 and Class 3 circuits shall be classified as communications circuits and shall meet the requirements of this article. The cables shall be listed as communications cables.

Exception: Cables constructed of individually listed Class

2, Class 3, and communications cables under a common

jacket shall not be required to be classified as

communications cable. The fire-resistance rating of the

composite cable shall be determined by the

performance of the composite cable.

(c) Electric Light, Power, Class 1, Non-Power-Limited Fire Alarm, and Medium-Power Network-Powered Broadband Communications Circuits in Raceways, Compartments, and Boxes. Communications conductors shall not be placed in any raceway, compartment, outlet box, junction box, or similar fitting with conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, non-power-limited fire alarm, or medium-power network-powered broadband
