SEATTLE, Sept. 10, 2024 ~ In today's modern homes, it is common to find coaxial cable outlets sticking out of the walls. These outlets were once used for cable TV services, but with the rise of streaming services, they are now becoming obsolete. As a result, fewer and fewer customers are subscribing to hardwired television services, leaving these outlets unused and potentially hazardous.
For years, the most common way to babyproof these coaxial outlets was to place furniture in front of them or use duct tape to cover them. However, these solutions were not only unsightly but also ineffective in preventing crawling and curious babies from accessing them. This posed a serious injury risk for infants and toddlers.
But now, thanks to OutletGuard Solutions founder Ryan Ames, there is a much more elegant and efficient solution available. The OutletGuard Coaxial Outlet Cover is a bright white, oval-shaped cover that easily twists onto an existing coaxial outlet, seamlessly blending it into the wall.
Ames was inspired to create this product after his own child had a close call with an exposed coaxial outlet. His playful baby lost his balance and fell back into the wall, grazing his head on the outlet. This incident prompted Ames to come up with a simple yet effective solution to babyproof these outlets.

"A twist-on, rounded cover is such an easy solution," said Ames. "One of the most popular alternatives I read about online involved a dozen steps to remove the coaxial outlet, wind up the cable, shove it into the junction box, and replace the faceplate. With OutletGuard, should we ever need to use the coaxial outlet, we can do so in seconds. Until then, it's safe."
The OutletGuard Variety Pack offers even more protection for parents looking to babyproof data outlets throughout their home. In addition to coaxial outlets, this pack also includes covers for Ethernet jacks and AC+USB jacks as well as two USB covers for top and bottom-mounted USB receptacles. These covers are designed to easily snap or twist onto the matching receptacles, providing a secure fit and protecting curious kids from potential hazards.
According to Ames, the OutletGuard Variety Pack was created to fill a gap in the baby safety section of most hardware and home stores. While these stores offer various childproofing products such as electrical outlet protectors and cabinet door locks, there was nothing available to protect children from cuts, scuffs, and shocks around other wall outlets in modern homes.
The OutletGuard Coaxial Outlet Cover is a simple yet effective solution for parents looking to babyproof their homes. It is currently available in the OutletGuard Variety Pack at MyOutletGuard.com. With this product, parents can have peace of mind knowing that their little ones are safe from potential hazards around unused coaxial outlets.
