334.15 Exposed Work. In exposed work, except as provided
in 300.11(A), cable shall be installed as specified in
334.15(A) through (C).
(C) In Unfinished Basements and Crawl Spaces. Where
cable is run at angles with joists in unfinished basements
and crawl spaces, it shall be permissible to secure cables
not smaller than two 6 AWG or three 8 AWG conductors
directly to the lower edges of the joists. Smaller cables
shall be run either through bored holes in joists or on running
boards.
I don't disagree with what is written there, what I don't know is exactly what I am looking at in the photo. It may comply, it may not, as I don't know just what this area is in the photo. All I see is what looks like a HVAC duct of some kind, some thermal insulation and a little framing. Is it exposed, an unfinished basement, an attic, it doesn't look like the underside of floor joists unless the picture is upside down.
OK, I looked at photo again, maybe it is looking up at an open ceiling in a basement or similar, I just wasn't seeing it before and had no idea what I was looking at. Just a little more zoom out maybe would have made it more obvious a little quicker.
