In accessible attics, exposed cables must be protected by guard strips when ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above options require protection of exposed cables in accessible attics with guard strips. This is because running cables across the top of joists or face of studs can cause damage or wear over time, and installing the cables within 7 feet of the floor or floor joists increases the risk of accidental damage or contact. Guard strips provide a physical barrier to prevent these issues.
