If for some reason you don’t want or can’t drill a window or wall in order to lay a cable from a street antenna (satellite dish), then this life hack will be extremely useful to you.

I admit honestly that I only recently learned about this method and the first thing I decided to do was share it with you. Of course, there is nothing supernatural in this method of laying cables through a closed window. But the option is very interesting, and most importantly universal and well applicable to any window and any antenna.

The essence of the method is simply simple: you need to pass the cable through a flat, purchased adapter that can be clamped in the window. This adapter will not suppress even a weak signal.

What will you need?

Window adapter, flat for TV cable:

Similar adapters (adapters, connectors) can be purchased in our stores, but there they are at least 3 times more expensive. As always, it's up to you to decide.

We route the cable from the street into the house through the window without drilling

So, we cut the cable in the place where it will have to pass through the window. Screw the connectors (F-plug) onto the cable sections, having previously removed the insulation. Now we simply connect the cut cable through the adapter connector.

Place the adapter on the window frame.

And close the window by clamping the adapter.

That's all. An amazingly simple method will save you from drilling a window frame or wall and will allow you to lay a cable from a satellite or terrestrial antenna in a matter of minutes.
