I'm struggling to understand how the NEC Section 406.6(E) applies to an XLR pop-up box we are looking to install.
406.5(E) Receptacles in Countertops. Receptacle assemblies for
installation in countertop surfaces shall be listed for counter‐
top applications. Where receptacle assemblies for countertop
applications are required to provide ground-fault circuit-
interrupter protection for personnel in accordance with 210.8,
such assemblies shall be permitted to be listed
The box contains XLR ports and flush mounts with a raised podiums surface. First i'm not clear if Low-Voltage receptacles are covered by sections 406 of the NEC? Are RJ45 Jacks, XLR ports, and speakers banana plugs considered "receptacles"?
Secondly I'm unclear what is meant by "countertop" here. Is that only limited to bathroom, kitchen, and workbenches? This isn't a "countertop" but part of a desk where speeches are given. There is no definition (that I could find) in the NEC about what is considered at countertop.
Thanks
