What is the minimum overhead clearance above the water level of a swimming pool required for network-powered broadband communication equipment conductors?

The minimum overhead clearance above the water level of a swimming pool required for network-powered broadband communication equipment conductors is indeed 22.5 feet. This requirement is based on safety considerations to prevent electrical hazards.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies that conductors above swimming pools need to maintain a safe distance to avoid any electrical problems that could arise if water splashes or if someone comes in contact with the pool area while using electrical equipment. Maintaining a height of 22.5 feet ensures that the conductors are sufficiently away from the potential reach of water and people in the pool area, thereby reducing the risk of accidental electrocution or equipment damage.

Additionally, adhering to this standard is crucial for ensuring compliance with safety regulations and protecting both users and electrical installations in close proximity to water. The alternative height options do not meet the safety protocols established by NEC for overhead clearances above swimming pools.
