the piece of romex is not a U.L. approved method for support,
UL only "lists" materials for use, "Approval" is up to the AHJ. Other non-UL supports include Unistrut and clamps, staples, one and two hole straps, wood, angle iron.....well, you get the idea. I agree with Electricmanscott. Limburger-stink-cheesy, but gets the job done. Nothing that you'd teach someone to do.
