Tommy:
There is a thread in "General Discussions" that has the same question that you asked here.
Are you asking if the MC cable can be supported by the ceiling grid support wires?
OR
Are you asking about the length of the MC cable from fixture to fixture?

If the "Inspecting Engineer" says that it's a violation, then the NEC Article should be referenced by him.

Please read my comments in the other thread...

I'll post the NEC article tommorow. my book is in my truck & it's raining...
