Default What is piggybacked wiring?

As RBM said, a little context would be very helpful.

In addition to what the others indicated, that term might be used when multiple
pieces of romex are put under one staple
(when stapled to studs, joists, etc). I think (although not 100% sure) that's
a no-no from a code perspective.


Depends on the staple. Some are listed for use with more than one cable, some
are not.
