How do I protect wires and cables that are used outside?

Protecting Wires Outside

For wires that may be exposed to the outdoor elements, special consideration must be taken in regard to protection. EMT conduits are durable and resistant to harsh environments. Wires can be run through EMT both underground and aboveground. Even if the wires outside don't need to be routed for long distances, EMT provides protection from harsh outdoor conditions. Conditions such as moisture, freezing temperatures, and direct sunlight can be damaging to cables and wiring without industrial protection.
