You've probably seen cable-TV installations where the bare coaxial cable simply enters a room via a crude hole drilled through the floor or a baseboard (maybe you've seen them in your own house!). They're functional but not too decorative. For a more finished and permanent installation, do the job right and install a bona-fide wall jack.


SKILL SCALE

Easy

TIME REQUIRED
If your cable is already routed inside the wall, you'll be done in under an hour.

TOOLS
Wallboard saw
Screwdriver
Adjustable wrench

MATERIALS
Wall TV Jack


STEPS
Step 1
Make a cutout opening 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 3/4 inches high at the television-jack location. Pull the cable through the opening, and install two television-jack mounting brackets in the cutout

Step 2
Use an adjustable wrench to attach the cable F-connector to the back of the television jack. Then attach the jack to the wall by screwing it onto the mounting brackets.
