Unless otherwise provided, how often must MC cables be secured?

The requirement for securing non-metallic sheathed (MC) cables, unless specified otherwise, is that they must be secured at intervals not exceeding 6 feet. This regulation is in place to ensure safety and to prevent the cables from being damaged or becoming a tripping hazard. Securing the cables at this interval helps to maintain their integrity and function properly, while also adhering to electrical codes. The choice of 6 feet strikes a balance between providing enough support for the cables and allowing for ease of installation and maintenance.
