No VM wall socket

Hi guys, 

I have just moved into a property which I know had virgin broadband however I have ordered my install kits which has been delayed! I work from home so need set up ASAP. I can’t find a virgin wall socket I have followed the wires from omni box which leads me to a black wire. Would I be able to use a data coupler as I need Wi-Fi asap.

 

the black wire I found says “CABELOCK” which matches the one in the omnibox

Can you post a picture of the cable?

What type of connector does it have?

I gather some VM cable connections lack a wall box and are just a coax cable into the room (though I would prefer to have an isolator).  You may be able to connect the cable directly to the hub, or use an adaptor/coupler.  If you get stuck you may need to request a Virgin Media technician visit.

I know a bit about Wi-Fi, Telecoms, and TV as I used to do it for a living but I'm not perfect so don't beat me up... If you make things you make mistakes!
