Best Answer

Lamp cord is not certified for use other than for connection of lamps to a receptacle outlet. Cabtire can be used if the system is portable and temporary, to wire the remote heads. For a permanent installation usually the power pack unit has a plug on it and it plugs into a receptacle that is positioned beside the power pack. For remote heads, they are hard wired out of the power pack to junction boxes where the remote heads are to be located. Even though the heads are low voltage wire the system to electrical code standards.
