This flex is sold along other types of NM wire molding, but I can't find anywhere where this product explicitly allows NM or not.

According to the 2015-16 UL White Book, this product is only allowed to contain the following:

  • Optical fiber cables (Types: OFNP,OFNR,OFN,OFNG,OFCP,OFCR,OFCR,OFC,OFCG).
  • Communications cable (Types: CMP,CMR,CM,CMG,Cross-connect wire).
  • Power-limited fire-alarm cable (Types: FPLP,FPLR,FPL).
  • Community antenna television cable (Types: CATVP, CATVR,CATV).
  • Low-power network-powered broadband communications cable (Types: BLP,BLR,BL).

Which means no NM cable, no lamp cords, no extension cords, nothing but the types of cable listed in the table above.

Cable Routing Assemblies (QBAA)

Use and Installation

This category covers routing assemblies for installation of conductive and nonconductive optical fiber cable, communications cable/wire, powerlimited fire-alarm cable, community antenna television cable and lowpower network-powered broadband communications cable. Cable-routing assemblies are intended to be installed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, "National Electrical Code" (NEC). Cable-routing assemblies are only suitable for the installation of cable/wire noted in the following information. Individual routing assembly systems differ in their construction and, therefore, their components are not interchangeable with other routing assemblies or fittings of other systems. This category includes pliable lengths, rigid straight sections, elbows, bends, and fittings such as expansion joints, female and male adapters, and couplings. These products may or may not incorporate end fixtures or covers.

NOTES:
- I had trouble finding UL marking on this product, so this information could be inaccurate. Check the product/packaging for an official UL mark and listing. Specifically look for the wording "General-use Cable Routing Assembly" and/or "ANSI/UL 2024"

No, if you're meaning to use it for electrical circuits or hardwiring appliances. It's one of their "Cord Management" solutions & is peel & stick installation. It's for plugged wires, lamp cords or their extension cords, coaxial cables, HDMI's, speaker wires & such.

You'd have to go for their Raceway Products for electrical circuits. These are the typical legal options that are mechanically fastened with screws & there is no & can't be a detached flexible tail sleeve to replace securely anchored armored cable.
