You mean perpendicular to the stud and if it goes through a hole in the
stud w/o plate it needs to be min 1 1/4 from each face, correct? You
can have Romex/NM nailed to a stud but you want it to go thru the hole
as horizontally as possible.
Also if my old info is still valid don't want to run parallel with any
low-voltage circuits (Cat5/Cat6 or phone, etc.) within (?) distance so
as not to induce 60Hz interference, want to maintain (12in?) clearance
and cross LV circuits perpendicularly.
John.
