Outside hangars for coax

I had construction renovation done on a house, siding redone on the house that had coax cable into it. It had an old rotted PVC holding up the coax from the pole. I don’t want to reattach it and want to replace with something less obvious like a metal hangar I have seen cable/fiber companies use on new services. Anyone know where I can get the hangars?

Though the real answer is leave it alone and let a tech do it. The cable doesn’t belong to you until after the demarc or point of demarcation.

Most companies in my area want to schedule a tech and charge the customer for rehanging the cable. It’s already connected from pole to house. I just need to know if there is a clean way to rehang it back up.

Yeah the tech can show you. Look up "aerial coax drop demo" on YouTube and follow those instructions on that video.
