Hi all, I’m trying to run a Ethernet cable to my home office in a house built in the 60s. This connection is unlabeled and I’m not sure what it is. Can I somehow replace it with an Ethernet cable? I’m new to all of this and did some poking around in the sub but I’m not really sure what I’m looking at or what I’m in for. I don’t have any coaxial cables that I can utilize (unless they are hidden behind a wall? Any easy way to find those?). Thank you.
Well if this was an apartment id say it’s a pretty standard 6 pair riser and DO NOT cut into it cause it’s possibly feeding apartments above.
But it you’re in a house so someone used 6 pair riser instead of quad or cat5 to run their phone lines. It’s basically only good for POTS and XDSL. You might be able to use it as a cable pull to pull some new cat5, but it’s unlikely.
