Coaxial Cable Question

[1hodgkry]

I am looking for a way to run coaxial cable into my apt without actually drilling a hole through the brick outside. I know there is flat network cable that allow you to shut the flat cable in a window crack. My question is if there is such a thing for RJ6 coaxial cable (and what it is called), or another ideas for getting it inside without drilling. Thanks for any ideas or help.

While these are convenient and easy, I would ask anyone who ahs used them here to tell me their experinces with them as far as longivity. We have found that if these are used in areas where the dorr or window they go thorugh are used regularly, that they have a high failure rate. Have been on many a service call for signal loss and this item was the culprit. Does this happen to anyone else?

I am using one of them for OTA through a windows (never opened) on the side of the house and it is about a year old and works fine.

I'm using one also for my FTA setup, put it in the spring... Starting to get cold and don't feel a draft around the window yet,

Put some thin foam under the window and all will be good....
