Default Coax entry into house

Hi all, I want to run a coax into to my house bedroom because I'm disabled.
I recall reading having a short piece of electrical pipe placed through the
wall and sealed after the coax is run. Any other ideas? How much of a tail
should brought into the room?


You can buy 8 inch long PL-259 barrel connectors on the Internet.

Drill a 5/8 hole through the wall. Put a hardware store 5/8 fender
washer on both sides and caulking under the outside washer.

Seal up the outside cable connector.

Very slight loss at 2M, but negligable below that.

This assumes you have 6 inch walls, if not they are available up to
12 inches long.
