My point is that there are several places in the NEC that allow cords to fixed equipment.
400.7(A) only requires cord connectors for 3 of its 10 possible situations. So it is clear that cords can be used from one utilization device to another.
So another question is "what is a pendant", as it pertains to 400.7(A)(1)? Is it any vertical riser? We know plugs and receptacles are not required, because 400.7(B) does not apply to it.
