If all else fails cut a disk of thin rubber , inner tube or very thin mat 
suitably sized to cover the hole and seal it to the coax and round the hole ( 
leaving a small bottom gap. Roof and gutter silicone is  good) foam is 
effective but tends to wick water so you still need a suitable seal and making 
your own is much cheaper .

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Sealing coaxial cable at the building entrance 
question.















 




    
                  

What is the best way to seal up the gaps around coax cable at the building 
cable entrance port? Our location has a panel with rubber knockouts. Some of 
the gaps are large.

Unfortunately the original contractor that installed the cables did not leave a 
drip loop and after a heavy rain we get some water in the building. Also the 
gaps are easy access for bugs and mice. 



We have considered using Great Stuff foam insulation but are not sure if this 
is the thing to do. Suggestions appreciated.
