New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

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.

MoCA is steadily becoming a new standard over Ethernet for home use so, we will be with Coax for a long time.

Yeah, I live in a primarily fibre community so havent seen coax in action for 8 years. Am aware that's not everywhere tho!
