My personal favorite is to get a 2" or 3" (depending on how many runs of
coax you plan to have going out) plastic LB box from a home supply
place. Take a hole saw of appropriate size and drill through your wall
(be sure to drill between studs!! Also assuming wood construction on
the house) and put in the LB box. Once you have the coax(es) run
through, fill the rest of the inside of the box with fiberglas
insulation to keep the bugs out. If you're worried about critters like
mice, get some of the expanding foam insulation that comes in a can and
fill the LB with that. Once you do that, it might be a bit difficult to
add coax runs later...

That approach had crossed my mind, but the screen in the window cannot be

Hi John,

Open the window 3".

Get a piece of wood as wide as the window, and that same 3" tall.

Insert the drilled piece of wood into the window.

Close the window.

Bar the window against 2nd story cat burglars.
