Old NTL socket internal orientation

[Olduser]

Just moved into a house- there was a dismantled NTL socket at the end of the old cable- does it make a difference which socket has the input from the cable and which has output to the 360 splitter. I assume the IN at the top should have the input and the TV does work when it 's all connected up. Just would like confirmation I'm not doing something potentially dangerous - or should I call for an engineer to replace this old cabling. The gold coloured input is near IN and the silver push fit goes to the new splitter. Thanks in advance 😐

The supply cable from the street goes to 'In' and your VM equipment is connected to the other side, 'Out'

Many thanks- I assumed that but glad to have a conformation. 😀

For information, that is a safety isolator. It is basically a surge arrester that stops any power surge in the incoming coax damaging the equipment connected to it.

Thanks- that's good to know. Edward
