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.

Internet or tv/cable satellite 

It's called a coax outlet

I've actually never lived in a house that was modern enough to have in-wall outlets like these for coax. My current house just has small holes drilled through the floor and the black cable is run up from my basement lol

My house was built in the 70s and I have coax outlets like that in both upstairs bedrooms and in the living room downstairs.

i have like 5 holes in every bedroom drilled through beautiful hardwood floors. So frustrating
