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. I'm sure they have it, if I just know what it is called I
can find it on their website.

Pull the cable out of the wall from hte outside by a couple of inches, place
a good dollop of silicon caulk ( the same stuff you use to caulk around your
windows) about an inch or two from the wall then pull the cable back inside.
This will make a custom fitted grommet . Dress the cable downward from the
hole so water run away from the hole. Think drip loop
