Description
Created this cable cover to protect my Starlink cable where it exits the house.
I recommend putting a semicircle of sealant caulk in an arc over the cable opening on the exterior wall, then slip the cable through the angled slot in the back plate and screw the back plate to the wall over the opening squishing the caulk between the wall and back plate to minimize possibility for water to penetrate the hole.
As with any exterior cover it is best not to seal all the way around it, as leaving bottom area where cover meets wall unsealed allows for any water that could have been trapped between cover and wall to escape.
Gently bend your cable to exit the cover at the provided opening at the bottom and slide in place top cover.
I printed in PETG to help minimize damage from sunlight.
Added mounting holes to backplate for convenience, but screws could be placed through back plate wherever needed as long as you print with adequate infill.
Mixed a ‘short’ variant if you need to mount in a smaller space.
