The requirement for securing MN cable according to art. 334.30 says that it must be secured within 12" of an outlet box. My question is this: Is the measurement of 12" along the cable length? For instance, I'm in the habit of making a loop just before entering the box just in case more wire is needed later on (see my drawing) http://www.picfury.com/2n/NMelecbox-2.html . Would the code require stapling 12" up the stud from the edge of the box or 12" following the length of cable?
