[@UrAdversary]

The braided shield should NOT be cut off. Instead you push it back against the outer PVC jacket, that way its out of the way of the connector. The braided shield helps reduce noise on the line and is important that it is touching the actual connector.

[@TheRealPinkProdigy]

Yes!!!!! Because if you cut it off it’s not going to send the power.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Well glad you figured it out. The cable company can install a coax to pretty much any room you want. This video is just how to take a raw coax cable and make it an coax outlet. Maybe I will make a video on how to run a coax cable to a room. Thanks for watching and keep me posted.

[@anthony-dc6qu]

Where is the white cable if the house are already built

[@valeriexoxo]

How did you get it in the wall and what is it connected to? I’m so confused. If someone already has it installed at the point where you begin then wouldn’t there already be a cover on it?

[@webbo1021]

You go in the attic, fish it down the wall, cut a whole in the drywall, put in a blue outlet wiring box, run the wiring through the box and run the other end of the wire allllll the way across your attic to wherever your ISP installed they’re splitter, then connect your new coax cable to the splitter. Easy, right?

[@vegetaismydad5382]

@@webbo1021 Not everyone has an attic. Sometimes it's a crawl space or basement. Depending on the cable provider, for a single-family home, there is usually a lockbox attached to the outside of the home (usually where the other external utility boxes are located). This box will have a cable line that runs from the utility pole outside or in the ground by the street, and then another wire running to a splitter located in the home's basement, crawlspace, or attic. Sometimes this splitter is an amplifier which looks like a brick-shaped apparatus with a bunch of coax cables coming out of it and a power cord if the home has low signal.

[@muthaFlipinMoJo55]

Umm may be a dumb question but are we supposed to shut off the power before attempting this??

[@undeadones123]

I have a cord running through the wall it’s the coaxial screw on cord However it was used for Television instead of internet, would replacing it with a plate allow me to use it for my modem? Or should the cord still be able to connect to my modem regardless? I haven’t been able to get mine set up

[@UltimateTechHub]

You can use it for a coax cable modem. Plug in the modem and have your ISP send a signal to the modem.

Wheres does the cable go an antenna. Im ordered spectrum but i have to install iti need a coax outlet theres one in my house but its cut outside so where do i plug the coax cable?

[@UltimateTechHub]

I believe you would have to connect the coax cable inside to the coax cable outside. Depending on where the cable is in the house you might run the cable through the attic to the outside. Hope this helps you. Thanks for watching.

Yes for sure. If its a house then you can run a coax cable from the location where your cable comes into the house. Its usually in box on the side of your house. The cable company can do it for 25 dollars. Or you can buy a coax splitter and attach it to the coax in your parents room run one cable to your parents TV and the other to your room. Hope this helps.

You can use the same coax cables inside the house that were going to the splitter that’s outside that’s connected to the Dish network satellite but it’s still not going to work. It has to be disconnected from the dish network satellite and connected to the spectrum service tap that will either come from a ground tap nearby or from a telephone pole.

[@AdRxElite]

Instead of removing the shielding from the cable by hand, you can simply use the connector you intend to use to do so. Just push and twist the connector from the threaded end until the shielding recesses. It'll save you a ton of pin pricks and it's pretty quick.

You can't put a splitter before your modem. You should have at least 2 coax cables. One coax to the modem and one to a TV.

Install the coax yourself. You can order your moden from the cable company or buy one on Amazon. Just make sure and ask your cable company what kind of modem to buy.

[@UltimateTechHub]

You have one coax? If so you can use a coax splitter to make 2 coax cables.

[@Kanti12311]

I opened mine up and the connector wasn’t even crimped on right. I came right out!!

[@UltimateTechHub]

I've seen that before. Not good.

[@Kanti12311]

@@UltimateTechHub thanks for the reply! I’m waiting for a new connector to come in to get that thing fixed. I wonder if this can contribute to some weird internet dropping/lagging?

[@itstonycia]

What was that black cord at the very end of the vid?

[@UltimateTechHub]

A coax cable plugging into the coax outlet.

[@jmoney6546]

how do you get the wire to be in the wall?

[@nakeyialucas4595]

it comes in the wall

[@mathewr2461]

What is the wire inside the wall plugged into though?

[@UltimateTechHub]

To your cable outside to your cable companies box.

[@michaelmayfield3584]

Where does the cable in the wall connect to on the other side?

[@UltimateTechHub]

The cable should run through the wall into a box that is usually located on an outside wall near a garage. That's where the cable company sets up your service. That's if you have a house if you have a condo it would run to a box on the outside of the condo or patio. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well.

[@ImportanceOfWhatever]

Assuming you should turn off electricity first??

[@UltimateTechHub]

No, a coax is not hooked up to any electricity. It's low voltage so if you touch the end you won't feel anything. Thank you for watching.

[@tremolony4924]

should i turn the power off before foing this

[@UltimateTechHub]

Nope its low voltage and you can touch a coax cable and feel absolutely nothing.
