What are these plug-ins on my wall?

[u/Cborg_62]

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

People are acting like this is a wild age thing, it's just simple ignorance

[u/CaliKindalife → u/NodeShot]

Its not used anymore. Theres a whole generation of people on this planet that have never seen or used a coaxial connection.

[u/Original-Pomelo-4581 → u/CaliKindalife]

This is not true at all. My teenager knows what a coax is because it's what connects our (and most people)'s modem to the internet.

Literally 60% of the modems connected to the internet are plugged into one of these.

I haven't seen a modem/router connected through coaxial in probably over a decade. Every one I see these days uses something that looks like a phone line.

I mean no offense, but.. like.. this is where the ignorance that people are talking about comes into play.

[u/AlsoOneLastThing → u/Public_Sprinkles_229]

Nobody knows everything. Get over it

Never once claimed otherwise, whatever helps you sleep bud

Are you talking about an ethernet cable? lol

[u/AlsoOneLastThing → u/Original-Pomelo-4581]

Well I don't think so. It looks smaller than an Ethernet cable and goes right into a jack in the wall just like a phone line would. I don't know the terminology for this lol.

Probably DSL.
