Question:
I am roughing in mc horizontally but my box is mounted vertically within a foot of a stud hole that I'm running through. Does that stud count as a support or do I still need one?

A
Answer:
Hey Matt thanks for your question. MC cable can be supported by framing members at intervals not exceeding 6 feet as stated in 330.30(C). But cables of 10 AWG or smaller and up to 4 conductors must be secured within 12 inches of boxes or other terminations as stated in 330.30(B).
