Is it possible to drill a hole through the header in the attic and
bring the cable down between the studs and exit it through the wall just
above the baseboard. You could use a plastic junction box and cover it
with a switch plate or a CATV plate. If you ever sell the house, merely
install a solid plate. We plan to bring 220 into the shack for the
linear using this method and have used it to bring the C Band satellite
TV cables into the living room.
