I need to install a coax cable wall outlet into a wall. Luckily, I can install it directly adjacent to the wall outlet on the other side of the wall itself. Other than cutting the template for the wall outlet to fit, and using a splitter inside the wall, what else should I or do I need to know?

Adelphia is my provider and its digital.

Thanks guys:)

get a remodel low voltage box that has the clamps to tighten up to the drywall

don't go screwing the faceplate directly into the drywall

That sounds like good advice. Link for reference?

If you don't find one easily, pick your poison. I have several of each on hand.
