I can’t seem to utter the right incantation into Google or Amazon to find the right term for a plate/box that allows multiple cables to inside the house to outside - just Ethernet and possibly fiber. Can anyone tell me what it’s called, please?
Basically I want to pass multiple external Ethernet cables from an inside wall plate to outside cameras and a shed - up to 6 cables potentially. My present “drill a big hole and pack with wall filler” isn’t viable beyond a cable or two.
Thanks.

Just a guess but keystone jacks?
Junction box.
Plus conduit, probably, but depends on exactly what you’re going to do with it.
Could be a hole through the wall, with a stub (short piece) of conduit out into the junction box. From the junction box you’d have more conduit or conduits, or glands to weather seal single cables.
The hard part is outside. Needs to be weather tight. Use a conduit through the wall, into a weather tight junction box on the outside. For each cable, open a hole in the junction box and install a “cable gland”. A cable gland is a device that seals around a cable, fits through a drilled hole with a rubber washer, and is weather tight. They sell lots of them on amazon.
Inside, you just have to make it pretty.
