[UK-CONTEST] OT. how to bring coax through new wall?

[John Lemay]

I agree with David's method.

If you use a size of pipe which is commonly used in domestic plumbing,
you'll be able to hire a core drill to go through the wall (or have the
pipe(s) built in). The pipe should slope downwards to the outside so that
water is not encouraged to come inside. For the same reason you will need a
drip loop in all the cables.

I use a section of plastic drain pipe - actually two sections of drain pipe
- to accomodate two lengths of LDF5-50, 
3 lengths of LDF4-50 and what seems like dozens of 1/2" coaxial and smaller
control cables.

I jam wadding into both ends of the drain pipe to keep the mice and wind
outside.
