New house - the cable and box socket don’t match up

In anticipation of my services activating tomorrow I’m trying to work out how this cable should plug into this wall socket? Please help!

Just bumping in case a VM whizz is around!

I think you just need a cheap coupler but can't actually find the right type online. Others will advise soon. 

One of these will do the job (assuming there's sufficient space round the wall box):

However there's usually a length of coax with a male connector on each end to connect the wall box to the splitter.

 

Thank you. Is there anywhere on the high street that sells these? Our mobile reception is awful and I’m desperate to get the wifi sorted today. 

Really appreciate your help 🙂

You are missing a cable that goes from the wall side of the splitter to the wall connector. This lead which should have been provided also contains an in-line isolator, but as there is already one in the wall box a straight connector should suffice.

Is this the cable you mean @nodrogd? However, it also has a ‘female’ connector..

If you open the plastic cylinder does it reveal the other end of the cable, which you can undo to connect directly to the wall socket?
