As ITE outputs they are not LVLE. If the antennas are indoors I would use regular power wiring methods. The intent seems to be to protect against power line cross, lightning, and accidental contact with what might be levels to cause startle, etc. You can't go wrong in regular conduit.

It says 725 applies. 810: Does not list transmitters other than amateur 820: Covers coax only. We use twisted pair. 830: Wiring methods are defined by other parts of the code such as the above sections and 725. Anyone else have any ideas?

My take on the subject. 1. If the antenna is outdoors, Then use Article 810 of the 1999 code 2. If interior then use Article 820 of the 1999 code. Outdoor installations are very concerned with lightning strikes and power line crosses. Note that 820 allows you to use Article 830 wiring methods as well. CATV or Broadband cable seems to be the route required. After that, separation and correct flame ratings of the cable based on installation (plenum, riser, etc.) are addressed. John L. Allen, P.E.
