Hi folks, finally starting my endeavor to put a rack to this closet and trying to decide where the cables will pass through. A few options. a) ceiling, then wrap them all and flush with the side wall b) back of the wall near the ceiling, then flush with the back wall c) back of the wall near the floor
Also:
what plastic piece do you use to protect the cables from the drywall
what plastic piece do you use to protect the cables from the wood if I drill some 3/4" to pass cables from crawlspace under the house to avoid pests and mice.
Thanks!

Can you pass a tv power cable with a three pin end through this
Do you do a smaller size panel? We have a single set of speaker wires and so a big bundle style plate may be over kill.
I can't seem to utter the right incantation into Google or Amazon to find the right term for a plate/box that allows multiple cables to inside the house to outside - just Ethernet and possibly fiber. Can anyone tell me what it's called, please?
Basically I want to pass multiple external Ethernet cables from an inside wall plate to outside cameras and a shed - up to 6 cables potentially. My present "drill a big hole and pack with wall filler" isn't viable beyond a cable or two.
Thanks.
So I want to pull 24 Cat6 lines from the basent utility room, through a first floor interior wall, and into the attic. From the attic I will distribute to the rooms, and then go down the wall.
24 Cat6 lines takes up a fair amount of space. Anyone have any tips to pass this many cables through a wall? The other option I have is to run one line to the attic and put the switch up there. But I want to be able to look at all my cool gear, and I'm not sure if the hot attic on the summer will be an issue.
Any advice is appreciated!
Hi everyone, I need to pass an ethernet cable from one side of the wall (drywall) to the other side, but I also want it to look nice, so just drilling a hole is out of the question.
What's a good passthrough connector I can use for that?
EDIT: To clarify, I want both sides of the wall to have female ethernet connectors.
EDIT2: This is probably a good example of what I need: https://www.amazon.com/Listed-VCE-2-Pack-Female-Plate/dp/B071G2QSNY
The only issue is that this decoupler is probably not long enough to reach the other side of the wall, so it may not work properly. The wall is ~4.5 inches thick.
