Pulling wire close to ceiling vs along wall at normal receptacle height
The way you are prescribing to run the wire will not be an issue at all, especially if the receptacles are higher than 48&quot;, it may even save you some wire??
You may already know this, do make sure you do not pull the wiring tight. When running through studs, turning into a stud bay, let the change in direction allow the wiring to &quot;sweep&quot; into the new direction.
