Exterior Power Cord Damage

Does anyone have any creative solutions for protecting their exterior power cords for exterior cameras? I've recently had rodents chew through the power cables completely. I'm thinking of using some kind of conduit but just wondered if anyone has done this and had any product recommendations.

@katep18 The Outdoor Camera's Power Cord comes with 6 cable management clips that can help hold the cord in place. If you haven't already, it may help to secure the cord in place using the clips. That way, any extra length of the cord won't sit on the ground and be easily accessible to the rodents.

The clips were used throughout the run, and unfortunately at the height of the outlet, small rodents can reach the cable.

Uline, maybe Amazon, electric supply houses, sell plastic spiral wrap or for more armor & $, something like this might work.
