other space used for environmental air as described in Section 300-22(c).
Type OFNP cable shall be permitted to be installed in these raceways.
Exception: Types OFNR, OFCR, OFNG, OFN, OFCG, and OFC
cables installed in compliance with Section 300-22.
(b) Riser. Cables installed in vertical runs and penetrating more than
one floor or cables installed in vertical runs in a shaft shall be Types OFNR
or OFCR. Floor penetrations requiring Types OFNR or OFCR shall contain only cables suitable for riser or plenum use.
Also, listed riser optical fiber raceways shall be permitted to be installed
in vertical runs in a shaft or from floor to floor. Types OFNR and OFNP
cables shall be permitted to be installed in these raceways.
