Sorry I don't have a photo and I've only been in the trade for 12 years, so I've never installed it. The type in question is a service drop with 3 individual conductors (residential). Obviously it's all now done with tri-plex (which is Messenger Supported Wiring).
The question is what Wiring Method was the old type and is it still valid? I have a service that uses this type and is touching a tree trunk. PoCo says it's fine and it's in their jurisdiction, but won't give the new home buyer anything in writing. I wondered what the NEC says about it. Also if anyone knows the NESC, I'd love that take also.
As always, thanks for the help.
