NEC 314.23(B) An enclosure supported from a structural member … shall be rigidly supported either directly or by using a … or wood brace
NEC 314.23(B)(2) … Wood braces shall have a cross section not less than 1"x2"
This is fine. I’m not an electrician and don’t know what that is securing the romex but I assume that’s approved.
I mean I guess if the inspector wants they could deny it for not being “neat and workmanlike” but they’d have to really be an asshole. Like it’s weird but it’s not going anywhere, not like a switch is a heavy piece of equipment. This would probably even be fine for a light.
Since you seem to be comfortable citing the codes, what about the space between those studs? I thought it had to be a little less than the 2 feet we seem to see here.
