Hole in House

[lonepalm]

So i have to move the cable modem in the house down to a better location in the house....fortunately there is already a cable that runs around the house to the cable box from a previous installed dish....

My question is what is the best product to use to ensure that hole is sealed from water and bugs.

silicone for wood or sideing or waterplug if it is brick

HD / Lowes sells a little plastic grommet for making a clean entry into your house with cable. You'll want to fill all cracks with liquid nails. That's what I would do. I'm betting some better answers will show up here tho.

Silicone caulk (I have had great success with GE Silicone II) found near the paint in the big box stores.

OR

Duct Seal. Buy a brick of it around the electrical supplies. Around $2. Soft, pliable, grey putty you sometimes see where wires enter your house.

Wood siding, think the silicone will be the route.
Would really like to find a plug of some sort.

Use it as a glory hole!

The Glory Hole idea or the product?

Spray foam the inside of the hole and after it's cured cut off the excess and silicone it.
