When you are running cable in the ceiling you have to be careful of what other trade do and do not do:

Been there, seen that, Dean. Except in my case the building owner used to work for the local electric company. He used an old meter box as a junction point in a crawlspace and of course, there was no meter, nor anything else in the hole.

He got a piece of my mind.

Yep. I never throw a steel fish tape into unknown areas anymore for this very reason. I love (or not) the conduits that are provided for us that land in a live 277/480 panel. "Oops! I meant to tell you to use that one over there".

Thanks a lot, Pal. Good thing that I didn't burn your project to the ground, but hey, it's all good, right?

This is a good point about the fish tape. I guess it is possible what you might think is a data conduit, is actually a electrical conduit. Is this the reason why fiberglass or nylon fish tapes are used so to not get shocked?

More so for when Sparky is working in an existing panel, adding a circuit. I can see it now when the metal fish tape comes flying through the conduit and hits one of the phases...

I've seen open junction boxes all the time but never an enclosure like that!
