Check this out from Radio Shack:
http://www.radioshack.com/category.a...8%5F005&Page=2

It's a long URL. If it wraps around on your page, it might not work. You'll
have to go to their web site and look under Wire Management/Wiring Tools &
Supplies. They also have a waterproofing caulk-tape somewhere on their site
that you can use to seal behind these things

I need to put a hole in the house through new vinyl siding and would

like to
know if anyone has a clean neat way to do it. Do they make feedthroughs

for
cable as big as RG8? Any suggestions ?


I just drilled a hole thru the siding and mounted an surface mount outdoor
electrical outlet box over the hole. There is a plastic shield over the
outlet box, with large enough cutouts at the bottom forr the coax to pass
thru. The passage into the box is large enough for 2 runs of RG8, and 2 of
RG58.

When I sell the place and move to someplace where bigger and better

antennas
can be erected, I will just add an electrical outlet in the box. A simple

15
minute job, and the hole is covered.
