[QUOTE="Matt Vivlamore, post: 65619, member: 33"] Re: Correct Cable For Temporary Use? My experience is has been similar to Dan's. On some of the shows I’ve freelanced on as an A2, I was tasked to hook-up/coordinate the Power Tie in; and of course I met the inspector and electrician. During the show the inspector only looked at the Feeder Tie-In and everything up to the Main Distro. They didn’t look at anything that left the distro. The company I freelance with uses a variety of SOOW, SJOOW and SJEW as well. The “general” rule for them seems to be: SOOW for Lighting & 4C AC power and SJ* for single circuit Edison. There QUAD drops use 'knock-out' metal boxes wrapped in Black Gaff. Don't worry, they have been apart of some huge productions and have many inspections. For my stuff, I use SOOW on my 4/4 cable distro cable and SJOOW & SJEW on my single circuits; but then again 80% of my shows, I am pulling power from the Edison wall outlets. I do have a few store bought black power cables from Lowes and that cable is SJT with molded ends (3-to-1s for LED lights). [/QUOTE]
