Wall Switch Wiring

If you had this switch with low voltage wiring would you use greenfield or EMT to protect the wiring in the wall?

If I’m the one running the low volt wiring to the switch I’m not putting it in conduit, there’s nothing wrong with just running the low volt cable as is down the bay to the switch and it’s compliant, there’s no reason to protect the cable it’s not subject to physical damage inside a wall

Now if prints called for conduit that’s one thing, but if that’s the Case the drawings would more than likely call out which conduit you ran and that’s what would be in the bid, but if there’s nothing specific and they aren’t paying for it I’m not running it in conduit

I'm sure the specs call for protection but I need to check.

If you’re the one pulling it and it’s in the wall there’s really no reason to require protection I mean the drawings may call out a type of conduit but idk why if you’re running the low volt , typically when we install conduit for the data/low volt guys it’s not for protection , it’s so they have a chase to the box down the finish wall because they don’t come in until the walls are up , it’s not subject to damage in the wall
