Review on Comet CTC-50M Window Feed-Thru Jumper - Original Version by Alex Webster

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works but seems expensive.

I like the idea of this type of jumper. It's thin so you can bang it against a window and it will still work. The idea is that you don't have to drill holes in your house to run your antenna cable. I am using this to connect a ham radio to my basement office. I'm not a big fan of drilling holes in my house to run and connect wires, so I ran ducts in my house walls for whatever I could foresee when building the house. I obviously had no intention of connecting to the ham radio operators, so I didn't run the cable from the other side of the house. With this jumper I was able to run the antenna cable into the house without drilling a hole. It has been installed in a window in fairly cold weather for a couple of months now. I haven't noticed any leakage out the window where it's "installed". The only thing I haven't tried yet is putting the screen back in place. I'm not sure if the screen has enough strength to push the cable away or if it just bends the screen. But I'll probably find out when it gets a little warmer. Overall I'm happy with this sweater, but I'm deducting a star because these sweaters seem insanely expensive for what they are.

Pros
