In most places, for residential, no. For commercial, most jurisdictions require a contractors license for anyelectrical work. Where I live, there is a low-voltage license that is less than a full-blown electrical license that is used by fire alarm, security, and telecommunications contractors. The NEC and most jurisdictions define low voltage as less than 30 volts. Check with your local building department to be sure!
An electrical conduit is a system for routing and protecting electrical wiring. A cable conduit can be found wherever electrical wiring is needed. This includes wiring in appliances or in the walls of a home.
In conduit is way better option. Protects the cable from people digging around it. At least will hit conduit before hitting the wire. Also protects the cable from whatever is placed in the hold when backfilling
No, the electrical code requires that the mineral insulated cable be strapped at proper intervals and not be piggy backed on to other conduit structures.
Yes, you can put UF (Underground Feeder) cable inside PVC conduit, but it is not typically necessary since UF cable is designed for direct burial. If you choose to use conduit, ensure that it is properly sized and that the installation complies with local electrical codes. Additionally, remember that the conduit must be sealed at both ends to protect against moisture ingress.

The purpose of a conduit for an Ethernet cable is to provide protection and organization for the cable, helping to prevent damage and interference that could affect the network connection.
The best practices for installing a network cable conduit include planning the layout beforehand, using appropriate conduit size, securing the conduit properly, labeling cables, and leaving room for future expansion. This helps ensure efficient and organized cable management.

The outer casing of an Ethernet cable does not have a UV rating and will deteriorate under the summer sun. Pull the cable into a conduit and if possible bury the conduit underground. This will give you a safe and secure link.
No, the electrical code requires that the mineral insulated cable be strapped at proper intervals and not be piggy backed on to other conduit structures.
to calculate the cable size of a run of 30 meters long you first will have to know the current of the appliance use the voltage drop formula V d = (mVxIxL)/1000 once the voltage drop is less than 2.5% of the nominal voltage, the cable should be upsize.

The Cat6 conduit fill chart provides information on the maximum number of Cat6 cables that can be safely installed in a conduit based on the conduit size.
Yes, it is generally not permissible to run Romex cable in conduit because Romex is already insulated and designed for use without additional protection. Running Romex in conduit can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards.
Romex cable cannot be run in conduit because it is not designed to be used in that way. Romex is a type of non-metallic sheathed cable that already has its own protective outer jacket. Running it in conduit can cause overheating and damage to the cable, potentially leading to a fire hazard. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper installation of Romex cable.
