how to seal around wires brought through a basement wall???

I will be bringing new lines from my basement to under my deck, either by hammerdrilling through the cement foundation or through the sill plate above it. Once I push the UF wires through the hole, what is the standard technique for sealing around the wires? Silicone caulk? Does code require a box to be the exit point for the wires on the exterior wall? I can't seem to find much about this.
