Ouch, $14... I built my own and this cost is probably why.

I removed the existing telephone jack wires, and bought a male to male coax adapter, added some nuts on either side to sandwich into the existing hole, then sealed it from the elements. The hole need a little bit of shaving but using the nuts on either side holds it tight. If you look close it's not as pretty but it works. If I spent $5 I would be surprised.

Now over time the protective cover broke off. So I bought a screw on cap for the coax (I think it's called a "terminator") and this keeps things covered up.

If you go with this cover, don't forget the sealant!
