Blue Sea Systems 1003 CableClam Antenna Cable Feed-Thru, 1.385 Inch Opening

The Blue Sea Systems 1003 CableClam is a waterproof cable feed-thru fitting designed to route a satellite antenna coax cable through a deck, hull, or bulkhead without cutting a full-size access hole or removing the cable's connector first. The clam-shell style body opens to accept the cable, closes around it, and seals the opening from water intrusion, making it a practical alternative to drilling a large through-hole for pre-terminated coax runs. Its housing is molded from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) in a beige finish that blends with common deck and cabin surfaces, and it is built for outdoor marine use.

The CableClam is sized for a 1.385 inch cable opening and features a plug-in, male-to-male connector configuration for coaxial cable with a single pin, suited to satellite antenna feed lines. It carries an IP54 ingress protection rating and is rated for low-voltage signal runs (up to 5 volts, 1 watt), consistent with its role as an antenna cable pass-thru rather than a power feed. Installation involves mounting the base to the deck or panel, opening the clam body to lay the coax cable into the channel, and closing and securing the unit to complete a weatherproof seal around the existing cable and connector.
