One of the primary concerns for any wiring installation is ensuring that cables are adequately protected. Metal-clad (MC) cables offer an added layer of protection from physical damage due to their robust metal jacket. These cables provide benefits such as enhanced durability, fire resistance, and reduced electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Can anyone tell me if the attached picture looks code compliant. This is at a NJ Shore resort town 300ft from the beach. The installer states that it is code compliant. This work was completed after the building was constructed. It uses MC cable and normal connectors. NEC 2014 330.10(A)(3) allows the use of MC cable outdoors, but 330.10(A)(11) states if used in wet locations must have a corrosion resistant jacket over the metal jacket. I'm confident the installer used landscapers and not electricians for the installation. There were (3) photocells in the white boxes for control of exterior lighting. The residents wanted the lights on a timer is why the installation was changed.
