Hello all. I drew this picture because I need your techies expertise. I basically don’t want to run long Cat6 cable because it causes signal lost, plus looks awful, even with the cover and that.
I want to enable the not working coax so I can run short distance coax from that outlet to the pc and use extra small Cat6 (you understand, right?). Check out the drawing and let me know please. Thank you.
Update 3/28: One of those 3 wires from the right side actually goes to the Non-working coax. Thanks to youtube videos, I tested with a multimeter and confirmed it. I will connect them using a double female coaxial adapter.
But a new issue comes up. There, where I wrote (behind the TV), that’s my son’s room and I’m building his pc and putting a desk there. So he needs to connect to internet. I want to use a Cat6 since the modem and router will stay with me where it is right now… 1-How can I get him internet without running 50ft+ Cat6 wire all across the place? 2- From that coax outlet with the 3 coax cables, what I can do?
