Where seals are required for boundary conditions as defined in 505.16(C)(1)(b), the Zone 1 wiring method shall extend into the Zone 2 area to the seal, which shall be located on the Zone 2 side of the Zone 1/Zone 2 boundary.
  7. Intrinsic safety type of protection "ic" shall be permitted using any of the wiring methods permitted for unclassified locations. Intrinsic safety type of protection "ic" systems shall be installed in accordance with the control drawing(s). Simple apparatus, not shown on the control drawing, shall be permitted in an intrinsic safety type of protection "ic" circuit, provided that the simple apparatus does not interconnect the intrinsic safety type of protection "ic" systems to any other circuit.
    Informational Note: Simple apparatus is defined in 504.2.
  8. Optical fiber cable of Types OFNP, OFCP, OFNR, OFCR, OFNG, OFCG, OFN, and OFC shall be permitted to be installed in cable trays or any other raceway in accordance with 505.15(C). Optical fiber cable shall be sealed in accordance with 505.16.
  9. Cablebus.
Separate intrinsic safety type of protection "ic" systems shall be installed in accordance with one of the following:
  1. In separate cables
  2. In multiconductor cables where the conductors of each circuit are within a grounded metal shield
  3. In multiconductor cables where the conductors of each circuit have insulation with a minimum thickness of 0.25 mm (0.01 in.)

(2) Flexible Connections

Where provision must be made for flexibility, flexible metal fittings, flexible metal conduit with listed fittings, liquidtight flexible metal conduit with listed fittings, liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit with listed fittings, or flexible cord in accordance with the provisions of 505.17 terminated with a listed cord connector that maintains the type of protection of the terminal compartment shall be permitted.
Informational Note: See 505.25(B) for grounding requirements where flexible conduit is used.
Exception: For elevator use, an identified elevator cable of Type EO, ETP, or ETT, shown under the "use" column in Table 400.4 for "hazardous (classified) locations," that is terminated with listed connectors that maintain the type of protection of the terminal compartment, shall be permitted.
