The receptacle is close
enough to the device's location that the cord will easily reach.
The device is up near the ceiling, and we're trying to avoid
running the power cord (or a track) up the wall, in plain sight.

Would this be considered a flexible cord under NEC 400 and
therefore not allowed, even
though it's only 12V?

If we can't, we'll run Romex from the attic receptacle and install a
receptacle for the pod. It would just be neater (and easier) to use
the attic receptacle.

Constructive ideas are always welcome.

They run doorbell wiring like that all the time ... drill the top
plate and run the wire inside the wall , let it come out behind the
drvice . --

Doorbell wires, and thermostat wires for that matter, are not
typically plugged into
a receptacle at the other end - at least not in my experience. This
is a plug and cord
device, with the plug being a 12VDC transformer.

That's why I'm wondering if it falls under the "flexible cord"
category or is that just for 110/220
VAC


Yeah , but the wire you're running is only carrying 12V and that doorbell
wire and furnace control wire are hooked to a 24v transformer at the other
end , sounds like apples and apples to me ...
