I'm tired of digging for this information.  This may not be the best forum for
my question, but here goes.

Where can you find the safety specs pertaining to cable type & insulation (i.e.
teflon vs. PVC) and applications of each?  I've been told that teflon "is
required in any situation where the cable passes through a supporting or fire
abating wall or floor" but can't find the source for the specs.  Does anyone
know what the specs are, what book/publication they're in, and how I can get
a copy?  

Thanks in advance.  Please post directly to me and I'll summarize to the net if
there's interest.
