Answered: <R7> and 4 Wire Cables

[AlecMiller]

<R7> allows for

Items used solely for the purpose of bundling or wrapping 2-wire or 3-wire cables for the
purposes of protection, organization, or management are allowed. This includes but is not
limited to electrical tape, cable carrier, cable track, etc. Note: it is up to inspectors to determine
whether a component is serving a function beyond protecting and managing cables.

It does not mention 4-wire extension cables. I would just like to confirm that protection for 4-wire cables is also legal.
