Cords vs Cables I think the difference between cord and cable is one of the murkiest of gray areas in the code. After a lot of time pouring over NFPA 70 and 79, I have come to the conclusion that Cord is SJ or SO, anything else is cable.

Hey Michael thanks for your follow up comment. Lots of good reader feedback this week. You are on the right track, SJ and SO are types of flexible cords but there are many other types in Table 400.4. Cables that are suitable as general wiring methods are in NEC Chapter 3.
