Default Passing cable via switch box

Hi,

For reasons of esthetics, I'd like to pass a 14gage Romex via a switch box
on a wall. This is a surface mounted box. This new cable is on separate
ckt
breaker. Is this allowed by NEC code? Can't find that case anywhere.

Thanks...RichK


If you mean through a switch box, it's not something I've ever seen done,at
least not without a splice in the box, but provided the box has adequate
space for the additional conductors and two connectors, it should be fine
