In picture 3 is a box with knockouts being used for portable power
distribution. This is the incorrect type of box for this function. These
boxes are for permanent mounting. Additionally, the strain relief is for
romex type cable, a gland type cable grip should be used for SEOOW cable.
In picture 5, there is inappropriate use of what looks like MC cable.

For Sudo Room folks working on electrical work, here
are some pics that
are hopefully helpful for work in relationship to CCL area of Omni Commons ?
I was in CCL to do a social media update for Omni Commons and I was asked
to take pics for CCL area electric sources.
Not sure if this is helpful or not for double checking CCL area ?
CCL Patrik did mention to make sure to have at least one CCL person in the
area when needing to check out CCL area electrical structure in reference
to overall Omni Commons electrical upgrade.

Hi Brendan,
Thanks for the feedback. Most of the electrical work in CCL was done by or
under supervision of an electrician who I think was recommended by DK, so
I'm a bit disappointed that he missed those issues.
Could you give a link to the kind of box and cable grip that would be
suitable in picture 3?
In picture 5, the outlet under the table was the original when we moved
into the building - I would hope that is still grandfathered in because we
didn't touch that circuit at all when we did our upgrades. That's on the
same circuit as the outlets in the hallway to the back exit, just the
other side of that wall.

There are many types of boxes suitable for portable power distribution. Any
box with knockouts does not qualify. You could go with a plastic box,
steel, aluminium, etc.
Here are some examples of a certain type of suitable cord grips:

Here are some examples of compliant portable power distribution boxes:

https://lexproducts.com/powerhouse,
Easiest thing to do would be to use an outdoor rated box aluminium box with
a gland style cable clamp from Home Depot and to plug all of
the other threaded holes with the provided plugs. If water resistance is
desired, use silicone on the threads of the plugs and select a water
resistant style gland.

McMaster doesn't include their shipping costs in the list price, buyer
beware. They do have extremely fast shipping though.
