Default sealing coax holes in outside wall

Can anyone tell me what the official name of the putty they use to seal
the holes you run your coax through so bugs don't crawl in the wall or
water doesn't get in? I like to get all my hardware type items from
mcmaster.com.


The box I have here says "One roll RTE62 R-type re-enterable sealing
material". RTE62 seems to be a 3M product type.

A similar product seems to be Google-able under the term "electrical
duct sealant" or "mastic". GB Electrical DS-110 is one type that
comes up... about $3/pound in quantity.

I have some mastic but I thought that was just for sealing around
connectors not to seal the hole the in the wall the coax comes through.
