I wouldn't use wax, WD40 or any other kind of coating. You won't be able to get it off when you need to use the cables. Lightninghorse has the right idea, seal them in plastic boxes with a dessicant like silica gel. I second the recommendation for gunsmith supply places as a source. Dessicant canisters are used all the time in gun safes.
