Stuff the hole w/ stainless steal wool, critters hate this trick.
Also a drip loop as has been said but a nice setup :)

Thanks!
Yeah, I considered steel wool. Between the styrofoam bottom and the rock wool and the height overall I’m hoping it’s not an attractive entry. The likelihood of sparks seems very low so maybe it’s irrational but the idea of steel wool next to electrical makes me a little uneasy. I may get some coax putty to fill in around the cables when I come back for the grounding line.

You can use duct putty, we called it “monkey shit”. Prolly the same stuff, grey, sticky, never really dries.
I worked in teleports so it could be called all kinds of different things. We mostly used it to seal up underground conduit penetrations into the antenna/PDU/ACU/Motor control cabinets also he IFL conduits.

Grey stuff? Electrical putty, plumbers putty.

I bet its all the same, but I’m partial to “Monkey Shit” nickname.
