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.

    This is what we always call a rats nest.

    Hopefully there is something there you can use as a pull string for your new Ethernet cable.

    Make sure you remove all this crap in the process or you’re no better that the dirtbag that worked in here last…
