Who installs cable outlets?
If you're moving into a new home where cable has never been installed before, you'll need to consult a licensed electrician first. Installing cable outlets is not normally done by cable providers. Coax wiring will not be run inside your home by these cable companies; instead it will be tacked to the floorboards. A licensed electrician, such as one from Data Cabling Dallas, can install a cable outlet in any wall of your house.

Install cable outlet in finished wall
Locate a spot on the wall where the outlet can be installed. A cable outlet can be located anywhere on a wall, as long as it is at least six inches from the floor. Mark the location of the outlet with a pencil on the wall, and then drill a hole in the wall. If there is a stud or other barrier in the way of the outlet, you will need to remove it. Drill a small hole in the wall and use a hacksaw blade to make an opening for the outlet. A hacksaw blade can be used to cut a hole in drywall because it is tiny and easy to use. When adding an outlet, make sure the cable has been hooked and there is enough to go around. Connect the cable to the hole in the wall by running it through the wall or floor. Place the outlet in the wall opening after running the cord through it. Screw the outlet into the wall with a screwdriver. As a last step, attach a cable to the faceplate and secure it to the outlet.

How to install coaxial cable in wall without cable wall outlet.
As soon as you locate an area in your home that is convenient for a patch panel, conduit is routed through the house to all of your desired outlets, and you're ready to go. The coax is the same. You'll need a rack and some power for your modem and switch next to the patch panel.

How to install a coax cable
Install your new wall plate and attach your coax cable to the socket on the back of it. Position the wall plate so that the holes on your previous work box or low voltage bracket line up with the holes on the wall plate.

Cable outlet installation cost
If you're installing a new cable outlet, replacing an existing one, or simply extending cable from an existing coaxial outlet to the device you're plugging into it, the cost of the installation varies greatly. The price of a new cable outlet ranges from $150 to $485. It should take no more than 30 minutes and cost no more than $60 to replace an old cable outlet with a new one.

Cable TV wiring installation
Starting at the junction box or incoming feed, sketch out the route that the relocated cable line will take, finishing at the termination point where you will connect to your cable box and TV. Find any wall studs along the new cable line's path. To run the cable, you must drill holes in the walls or floor where you want it to be installed. Attach the cord with a piece of fish tape. Make sure the openings in the wall are covered by a cable face plate. Around the hole, screw the plate into place. Connect the cable to the appropriate television and then turn it on.
