Is that just for plenum spaces or all dropped ceilings? Very few places 
where I have seen wire run through dropped ceilings have actually 
secured it, although I admit I haven't dealt with a huge number of 
locations. Other than keeping the network wire from contacting 
electrical cables or lights, I don't see it being much of a fire hazard. 
It would look nicer if it was all tied to something up there, but the 
point of a dropped ceiling in the first place is so you don't see the 
wiring!
