re: Coaxial cord ports all over house

quote:Yep. I don't do it full time, but I've been in plenty of attics and at least 95% of low voltage wire is just strewn all over (at least in older homes). It's rare that a cable guy even runs the coax a sensible route, much less tacks it down neatly. More often than not it's just laying on top of duct work and everything else.
There is no way any of this stuff is code. I have literally hundreds of yards of low voltage cable everywhere. Coax, AV, speaker wire, cat 5, the whole megillah. And none of it works/is connected correctly.

They’re put in during construction. They aren’t sufficient to handle DBS signals

I've found that their best use is as pull cords for replacing them with ethernet cable.
Excellent suggestion.

I just used mine as a fish wire and installed coax & ethernet wall plates. Then put a splitter/boaster in my attic so I could connect my attic antenna to every TV, and I now have a direct connection to my internet so my TVs don't have to use WiFi.
