Guys- take a look at NFPA 70 - '05 Edition and check at 300.11(A)(1) & (2) and note that in some cases wiring methods are permitted to be supported by the same support wires that support the ceiling. Now- depending on your definition of "exposed" you might be able to support the cable via the support wires for the ceiling. It would be handy especially if the structural ceiling was 10 feet above the suspended one. I for one would feel comfortable if the suspended ceiling did not have removable panels. If the suspended ceiling had removable panels, my understanding is that this is considered exposed wiring and subject to physical damage due to "normal building use" 760.8. So Tony, "Write it"
