CommScope ConQuest Conduit Construction - Manual (Page 76)

National Electric Safety Code (NESC) Standards
The NESC covers supply and communication cables and equipment in underground buried facilities. The rules also
cover the associated structural arrangements and the extension of such facilities into buildings.
The NESC typically identifies the construction techniques and materials necessary in outside plant construction of
electric supply or communication cable systems. The NESC is an American National Standard that has been written
by a group of professionals that are concerned about the Standard’s scope and provisions. The NESC has been
adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). All references to the NESC in this manual are from the
1997 edition.
Special attention should be given to NESC Part 3 Safety Rules for the Installation and Maintenance of Underground
Electric Supply and Communication Lines.
