In order to get cat5/6 cable out to one of my cameras I am going to need to run it underground for 20 or so feet. My original plan was to use 1/2" EMT conduit on the sides of the house straight into the ground with a 90 degree bend. I would then just use direct burial Cat5/6 cable to reach my location and come back up through EMT conduit. I read, however, that EMT should not be in contact with the ground so am wondering what I should do instead?
Should I simply transition to PVC a few inches from the ground surface? I could then do a 90 degree bend using the PVC which would be buried in the ground. Do EMT to PVC connectors even exist?
