Hi Kirk - We work in San Francisco where they have a local code amendment: <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/sf_building/0-0-0-84935>
300.4(I) Add the following section: (I) Subject to Physical Damage. Premises wiring systems installed less than 2.44 m (8 feet) above a walking surface or finished floor are considered subject to physical damage. As far as I'm aware otherwise, there is not a specific definition specifying 8' for physical damage in the broader NEC - I think it's just up to the AHJ.
