Wire Bringing coaxial into the house

[jonesypeter]

Thanks for accepting me as a member.

I have a loop antenna at the end of the garden, and my computer is in a downstairs room in the house. I'm about to order a 30M RG213 coaxial cable with BNC Male connectors on each end.

What's the best way to connect into the house. Ideally I would like the flexibility of being able to disconnect the cable outside, so I was thinking of an outdoor wall-socket with BNC female linked to a BNC female inside the house. Then get an RG213 patch cable, however I can't seem to find anything suitable online (in terms of wall sockets). The house is of traditional brick construction from the 1930s. Any sort of wall socket would also need to be protected against electrical noise of signal loss.

How do others get cables into the house but still have the flexibility of being able to disconnect or change cables on the outside?

I'm in the UK so links to UK stores only would be appreciated.

Very many thanks

Peter

What kind of windows? For double hung, a long thing wooden board held in place by a closed window works. Drill appropriate holes for barrel pass through connectors. Perhaps not the prettiest, but it works well and it's removable.

Thanks @wscranston,

Windows are plastic double glazed modern frames with three openings. one each side and a small one at the top.

I painted my board with some spray paint, so it doesn't look exactly like a 2x4 in the window. My windows slide horizontally to open. With the board in the window, there's a gap that lets air through in the middle, so I had to get some fat weather-stripping to shove in there.

Do you have a basement or cellar?

Or does he have a crawlspace? I do and have a "bent downwards" pipe (UV resistent PVC) sticking outside through the concrete block. The coax cables go into that with steel wool in zip locks surrounding it to stop bugs/critters. In the crawlspace, cables go through holes in the floor where needed. (I have only a 1-story.) Of course lightening protection is present early on in the cabling.
