The wall socket does not fit to the wall socket port of the cable. The output port from my wall doesnot support push in cable part.
However very next to this output box, there is another arrangment. But I am not sure though.
I presume I need an engineer to install the correct socket?
I also presume this will not incur any further costs?
Just before dialing up Martin's phone number, I thought it would be a great idea just to ask the community once.
Many thanks and regards

Try tracing the wires from the outside box.

Hello John,
coaxial cable wall socket
VM cable's port to wall socket. The other port is basically shown in above image as well.
There is another socket on the wall. I guess this would not work with the VM.

Hi Tudor,
Thanks for your reply. This is quite impossible as I stay on the 10 th floor and thee is nothing on the other side of the same wall. I suspect all the connection are made internally.

the only connection of any interest is the cable coming out of the wall - the VM isolator cable should push onto it - that means you dont need a wall socket - its sometimes difficult to get the push fit and screw connectors to go together but with a bit of force they do
if for any reason you cannot and as i say it should then remove the male to female convertor from the cable coming from the wall - the cable will then connect to the hub but thats not the best solution as its a bit short and you have no isolator in the line
if that works in some way and the cable is a VM cable and is connected back to the cab or box you are good to go - just phone the activation line - 0800 953 9500

Just push the cable marked "VM" onto the threaded end of the white cable. The are now supplying only push fit cable, it should fit over the thread.

Thanks for your reply Tudor. But I am pretty much skeptical about the fitting as that end was initially connected to a PPC EX59 11 male cable which is screw fit actually. Then I removed that cable and once tried to push fit. I suspect it might damage the pin of the " VM" cable's port.

Thanks for your reply Tony.I suspect that forsh push might damage the pin of the cable. That port initially connected with a PPC EX 59 11 male cable (screw fit) that I removed to fit onto VM cable port.

if you are not happy to try and push the cable on and i agree with Tudor it should fit remove the barrel connector and screw the cable coming out of the wall into the hub and see if things work - if it does you are up and running - then ring it in or wait here for VM who should book a tech to fit a wall plate - if the connection does not work with the short cable screwed into the hub you need a tech to sort it
nothing lost in trying to push it on - if it works then fine - if it damaged the pin then remove it and the barrel connector and try it as above
