I never heard the 1/4" jacket rule only being for plastic boxes unless they mean that it should be longer in other boxes such as this with clamps in which case I would say that the jacket should extend 1/4" further than the clamp. Maybe someone else has a comment on this?
Found an article by Charles R. Miller in the ECM Code in Focus. He points out that the 1/4" rule is in the section for NM boxes. In order to keep from plagiarizing, you can read it <a href="http://www.ecmag.com/backsearch/">here</a> and search under September 2000 Author Charles R. Miller.
Notice by the number of edits, I tried to make it easier...
Like the AC anti-short bushing and the anti-oxidant "rules", I wonder what other "codes" don't really exist?
