Hi , I was looking to run cables for around 5-8 outdoor POE cameras.

I was wondering how to create an entry point through block wall, one cable would be simple where drill hole and fill it , but don't want to be going back drilling further holes in wall when I know I may add further cat6 cables running in.

Was trying to make sure that can run further cables out the entry point in future but also that the hole is tightly sealed to stop mice etc getting in.

Without much info here, I'll ask... Is there an outside electric box nearby? If so, you could alway put a POE switch out there enclosed in a suitable box and run anything else from there.

You could use something like this. Then make only one hole to allow the number of cables to be used in the brick.
Use conduit from the bottom of that LB, and run down to the ground.

Or you could use a juntion box, mounted on the brick. You can then drill holes in the box as they are needed and use conduit from that box if needed.

Fill any gaps with a good caulk or this:Gardner Bender 5 lbs. Plug Duct Seal Compound DS-530 - The Home Depot
