No Splitter received with self-install setup kit

[yanargyr]

I'm a new customer with Virgin (M125 Fibre) so I don't have a Virgin splitter. I've received the self installation kit with a hub3, going through the installation process, and I'm asked to take the red-banded end of the isolator cable, and plug it firmly into the Virgin Media socket on the wall. But I don't have a splitter or any 'Virgin media socket'. I just have a short coaxial cable on my wall, and it has a male end.

Shouldn't I have received a splitter / virgin media  as well? Or was I expected to have my own splitter? How am i supposed to connect a male end of a coaxial cable with another male cable? Can you please help me?

Here is the cable on my wall if that helps

You need one of these (They aren't supplied by VM as wall sockets usually have the expected female end):

Oh, can I just use an adapter? Thanks, I'll try it

Yes, essentially it's just joining two copper wires.
