(OP)
Never posted before but I am curious to know if anyone has any practical suggestions on how to separate electic power conductors from non-power limited communication conductors per NEC 2002 Article 800.11.  The idea is to install these conductors in separate conduits but they will pass through a common underground vault.  Who makes "suitable" brick, concrete or tile partitions.

RE: NEC 800.11

Conduits or other raceways within the manhole are sometimes used for this purpose. Some authorities will accept conductor supports which maintain physical separation.

RE: NEC 800.11

If it is LV cable with communication cable then it is desirable to run through same raceway with separate conduit.
