You can have the last staple up to a foot higher. And up to 18 inches of cable. I like to leave the cable near the box a little longer, at least 4 inches of slack, to help the trim out if the rockers nick the wire with a rotozip. 334.30 Securing and Supporting Nonmetallic-sheathed cable shall be supported and secured by staples, cable ties listed and identified for securement and support, or straps, hangers, or similar fittings designed and installed so as not to damage the cable, at intervals not exceeding 1.4 m (41/2 ft) and within 300 mm (12 in.) of every cable entry into enclosures such as outlet boxes, junction boxes, cabinets, or fittings. The cable length between the cable entry and the closest cable support shall not exceed 450 mm (18 in.). Flat cables shall not be stapled on edge. Sections of cable protected from physical damage by raceway shall not be required to be secured within the raceway.

@@tony39572 understood. In my mind i was referencing boxes where the cable clamps break out fairly easy, so i like to have more support. Plus IMO i just think stapling closer to the box looks better. Thank you for clarifying the actual code portion of this situation though

[@tony39572]

@@ZackD69 I agree. Your work looks clean. I’m glad you take pride in your work and put in the effort to make it nice. I try to staple within a few inches of the box as well. The code references the minimum standards. There’s times where stapling within a few inches is difficult due to other obstacles and having up to a foot really helps.

I prefer plastic staples.....never steel...they rust....and cause shorts and chemically erode plastic sheeving of wire....

[@ZackD69]

@@71organicmusic9 I've never worked at a company that uses those, in concept those sound superior.

That's great Sparky, but can you use a broom?

[@ZackD69]

@@mandowarrior123 sure can, makes our finished product better if it's all picked up when we're done.

😂 not knowing how to use a broom isn't exclusive to electricians

[@ZackD69]

@@John_Doe3 Every superintendant/project manager I've ever had literally sends pictures to my bosses if we ever leave a mess. Also at rough time, I can't even count how much plumbing/hvacc/framing trash I've had to clean up because it's mixed in with our trash from before we even worked there.

1 wire per hole seems cool.... until you have to fire foam and nail plate! Step your game up.

[@ZackD69]

@@KENDOSLICE100 idk that i'd stop identifying my wires this way just to save time fire foaming and nail plating.

Code in floriduhh is 2,37 inches from the box and only pink romex permitted but dont say gay around the jobsite. You'll trigger Fat Tony the framing guy. I cant believe you didn't know that! Jeez!
