Blue Sea Systems CableClam 1001 Waterproof Antenna Cable Pass-Through, 0.68 Inch Opening, Beige

The Blue Sea Systems CableClam 1001 is a waterproof cable pass-through fitting designed to let you route an antenna cable, connector and all, through a deck, hull, or bulkhead without ever removing the factory-installed connector. Repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting cable ends is a common source of poor electrical connections and signal loss on a boat, and the CableClam solves this by sealing around the outside of the cable and its connector instead of requiring the wire to be fished through a bare hole. This makes it a go-to solution for antenna installations where the coax or cable already has a connector attached and cannot be pulled back through a small drilled hole.

The CableClam is built from an elasticized fabric that stretches to accommodate the cable and connector while maintaining a watertight seal once installed, helping keep moisture out of the cabin or below-deck wiring runs. It uses a simple screw-in installation method and comes with stainless steel fasteners, so no special tools or additional hardware purchases are needed to mount it. With a 0.68 inch opening and a beige finish that blends with common deck and cabin colors, this CableClam is sized for smaller-diameter antenna cables and connectors.
