Topic	Trying to connect the Coax outlets of two rooms in house. What am I looking at?
realnifty1 05/07/24 3:28:55 PM #15:	For $30 you can get a coaxial trace kit. You'll put a plug in both of the rooms you want to find and then go wire by wire in the image you posted testing them until you find one connected to it. Label that wire and then find the other. Then spend $2-5 on a male to male connector, you might be able to re-purpose one of the splitters, just make sure one is on input and the other on output. You are in bad luck if you don't find a wire that matches both. This is not uncommon in homes that have undergone cable/satellite transitions and back and forth. I have coax wall outlets in my house that do not connect back to the cable source and it is infuriating. <cite>realnifty1 posted [p:980285583] in Trying to ...
