As well as, what electric cable can be used outside? SWA is usually the cable of choice for many installations since it is available in a good range of core sizes, it is very robust, and can be buried directly into the ground with no need for further protection. Note that SWA is available with two alternative types of outer insulating material: PVC, and XLPE.
Not only, how do I choose electric cable size?
Choose a cable's exact thickness to meet a target level of resistance. The other relevant factors are the length of the cable, which external needs usually dictate and the resistivity of the cable's material. Divide the voltage running through the cable by your target current.
What size wire is most commonly used in house wiring?
The most common sizes you'll find in residential work are 14-gauge and 12-gauge. Larger appliances such as electric stoves, electric water heaters, electric dryers and central air units will often use 10-, 8- or even 6-gauge wire. If you're adding an outlet, you need to use wire the same gauge as the existing wiring.

The Cost to Install Cable Wiring Depending on the number of drops and type of cable, expect to pay between $300 and $500 per room.
The cable should be selected to cater for the Maximum load of the circuit, the MCB is selected to protect the cable. You should NEVER do it the other way round. ... Plain and simple you need a 10mm cable, 6mm is not correct, it may work but may also burn your house down, you take the risk.
You can use 2.5 mm² cable of course. ... In large buildings sometimes 4 or 6 mm² cable is used on the feeder runs, and near the light fittings the cables are branched off in J-boxes to 1.5 mm² to go to the light fittings, to compensate for voltage drop. These light circuits are often controlled through contactors.
2.5mm Twin and Earth is commonly used as indoor domestic cable. The most common use for this type of cable is for circuits that provide power to sockets. It is made up of two cores and an earth core which must be covered with the identifying green and yellow sleeve when installed.
You can wire an external socket in the same manner as a normal spur, by running the cable from a socket or junction box on a main ring circuit (via a switched connection unit) and mounting the socket on an external wall. Ensure your circuit has RCD protection, and that you use appropriate weatherproof outdoor fittings.
Low-voltage (no more than 30 volts)
wiring must be buried at least 6 inches deep. Buried
wiring runs that transition from underground to
above ground must be protected in
conduit from the required cover depth or 18 inches to its termination point above ground, or at least 8 feet above grade.
To do that, you need to use waterproof cable cap to make sure you cover the jack and the port with protective cover. As for the cable exposing outside, use protective tape to make sure the cable is not easily exposed to the element but not too much to cause heat.
