Does your house have 'siding?' Ideally you need two short pieces of siding to cover and protect the opening. Both will need a hole the size of the actual cable. One will have a slit running up from the hole and will go against the wall. The outer layer will have a slit running down.

Trim the nail tabs from each one and they should just pop into the current siding. To make sure the holes all line up, put the two patch pieces on the wall and drill a pilot hole before making the slits. Remove the patches and drill out the passage hole.

It is a good idea to seal the gap in the drilled hole with a bit of silicone sealant on the inner surfaces of the siding, especially where the cable passes through.

Good luck!
