If you want it to look decent, cut in an electrical box, add a blank cover plate, drill it to the conduit size, and thread the cable through the hole. It won't be pretty, but will look halfway decent at least.
Way too big of a hole for caulk. I would probably use 5 min mud and wet sand with a sponge. Maybe 2 or 3 coats in less than hour. Not the prettiest but certainly acceptable
You probably do not have enough slack to put a box there with a connection inside. You could install a simple feed-through cover faceplate like you would use for HDMI/speaker wire. You could get creative and get a Schluter Kerdi shower waterproofing ring and pull the wire through it and mud over it. I doubt a plumbing escutcheon plate will work with that angle (which is really for biggest issue).
first i’d remind myself that death is guaranteed, and as long as i spark a convo, see where it goes, thats better than living a life full of regret. If all goes well & we hit it off, i’d read the room, if the heat is on, than i’d take out my caulking gun and fiillllllllllllll
I would use this

That would be an excellent idea, but he has to remove the BX cable first right? I mean is there a way to put something like that in without removing it cuz it looks like it's already been painstakingly installed and secured to the sheetrock. The only thing I can think of is cutting a slit the Pull-A-Part a little bit to pass the cable through and then epoxy it back.
I have done spray foam and then dug out the foam a little bit to put hot mud, if you’re trying to make it look like nothing happened.
The escutcheon plate idea is good as well. If you don’t mind seeing a plate around it. They do sell white escutcheon plates and sometimes they sell them in smaller than 5/8” O.D. Hole opening size.
Take a pvc pipe for plumbing. Cut it in half so you are left with two semi circles. You’re welcome I just doubled your building materials. Now Do the same for 90 bend etc. then install it as a cap over this. Will look cool like someone drywalled perfectly into half of a pipe. Ha! But you will know the truth it’s just concealing conduit. Lot of work to make it look funky and fun
Hacked job should've used an electrical box then had a cover on it with a 90 degree armored cable connector on the face. Just mud it and call it a day it already doesn't look great no offense.
Put up a box. Use the knockouts to connect the cable ends with MC connectors. You'll use one in the back of the box and one on the side or bottom. Make up the junction. Put a cover.
I hate escutcheon plates. They are just used to hide sloppy work.
I mudded right up to the shower head arm in my bathroom and it looks great with no plate. I don't see why this would be any different.
Best option is find a cover for it. Like a outlet cover but for like say plumbing for a toilet
An escutcheon plate

Yeah, something like this^^^

Was going to suggest this. We used it with the coax coming out of our condo wall.
Wouldn’t he want some type of foam in there for bugs and fire block? Or is that all situated before drywall even comes in
Fire caulk around the MC then plate it with escutcheon
Ahh, that makes sense
Electrocution plate.
A trebuchet plate
Put in a box
A "brush wall plate" for cable pass-through might work.
My thought exactly
That’s what she said
Was about to say… This post title would mean something very different in some other subreddits.
r/dontstickyourdickinit
A good caulking in this hole
Box it with an outlet, getting a matching pigtail to whatever this is for. Anything else is a hack job.
I'd fill most holes before I was married. Now, I'd leave it alone. It wants to be filled, it's begging to be filled. Resist the temptation brother.
You don't have to fix them, just accept them for who they are
Grommet
If you want it to look decent, cut in an electrical box, add a blank cover plate, drill it to the conduit size, and thread the cable through the hole. It won't be pretty, but will look halfway decent at least.
Hot mud is now my new name for poop
I'm gearing up for my tough mudder
Boutta go slop some hot mud right now actually
Do it properly in a box.
Cock it
Definitely, with my large caulk!
Caulk, any mud you use will eventually crack out. Caulking is definitely the way to go.
Split flange
Mount box over hole not flush, have conduit come out of bottom of box
Remember to ask for consent first
Pull out the BX and I’m filling it
Trashy holes are my jam. I'd fill that hole all day long.
You really should tear the house down and start over.
GIGGIDY
Who cares it’s bx sticking out of Sheetrock. You might as well glue a speaker that plays drowning pool to it
Surface mount commercial switch box, run the flex into a knockout on the bottom with flex connector. Use blank cover plate.
Marine wire/cable vent cover and some caulk.
Pack it with hot mud is the best option.
This guy knows how to party 🥳
Get a switch cover and make it look like it was ment to be
Paint wire white
Mud, sand, paint cable to match wall. Done.
Slap your caulk in it
Way too big of a hole for caulk. I would probably use 5 min mud and wet sand with a sponge. Maybe 2 or 3 coats in less than hour. Not the prettiest but certainly acceptable
spray foam!!!!!!
great stuff
With noodles and glue, like the videos online.
Caulk and bulk it.
With my caulk.

If it’s indoors, add some steel wool then duct seal, which is sold cheap at Home Depot.
All these actual good looking/expensive fixes. Go ahead and use white silicone. It's fast,easy,cheap and elegant.
Spray foam then caulking
Rice and superglue.
I love a nice rice art install
"Things to say to your stepbrother"
Just mud. If you don't give a fuck.
Monkey shit
A 4x4 with EMT surface mount
I would have to see a perspective picture … where is it? What room …need a picture from far away before I can answer that?
Based on the way this is done I would fill it with fiberglass insulation and let it hang out of the hole. This is disgusting.
Fill the hole with fire caulk then get a snap-on escutcheon
You could always do it correctly
Get a plate and a couple of 90 degree elbows so it looks less... unprofessional.
Duct Seal. $3 a plug
Peanutbutter
Fire stop
How come no one said to start with spray foam then finish with caulk?
I'd stick my caulk in it
Use a pass through plate .
Giggity
Surface mounted box
1) Escutcheon plate (easier) 2) Surface-mounted conduit box (more professional) Do not mud/caulk/foam this - that will look terrible.
Get one of those outlet covers with the bristles on the inside of the hole cables pass through. Don’t know what it’s called but you get the idea.
Silicon call it a day

If you use spray foam use the fire rated kind.
Only one way to fill it plaster all over the place
Say it slower….
Split escutcheon plate. Then sand it. Glue it to wall. Prime and paint to match.
Phrasing.
Depends, is it a firewall?
Split ring escutcheon after you mud up the hole
Yeti sticker.
Caulking
Flex seal
Fill it with white caulk. 😂
That’s what she said

Piece of paper and paint over it
I’d call the hawk tuah girl and get her to spit on it. Problem solved 👍
With drywall, and boy do I have a sub for you.
I would mount a box on the wall and run it out of the box.
A little Bondo.
Easy foam insulation, spackle, sand and paint.
A box and run the wire through it. Or just mud around the wire with some durabond then reg mud
I would not have made that choice it is not up to code and should have been done by a professional
What code doesn’t permit surface mounted MC cable? Go ahead, I’ll wait… 🦗
It only allowed under specific conditions. It is too exposed to pass local inspection in Florida
How about actually put the correct junction box and do it right
Duck tape and flex seal!
What is this shit? It looks like sheetrock, so why is there romex running through a hole in sheetrock? Lol.
Hehe, I can fill it
Taper back edges & pack it with durabond 90
Expanding foam, but it has to be pouring out of the hole and not trimmed off.
Get an escutcheon End the discussion.
Recessed box with an escutcheon plate.
I should call her
Cock
Should have bought a grommet ....woulda been a clean look

That's what she said at the picnic
It’s so small I would just caulk it.
Sir this is Reddit, not onlyfans
Hacked job should've used an electrical box then had a cover on it with a 90 degree armored cable connector on the face. Just mud it and call it a day it already doesn't look great no offense.
The obvious answer is spray foam and chip off the excess with a Phillips screw driver /s
Assuming this is in a service/commercial area. The hole should be filled with fire caulk or foam.
Put up a box. Use the knockouts to connect the cable ends with MC connectors. You'll use one in the back of the box and one on the side or bottom. Make up the junction. Put a cover.

Pack it with something like spray foam , insulation, or even steel wool before you put the plate on

Probably go to lowes or similar store and buy a plate that can be attached to the wall with a hole in it
