I will get him to change that box just dont want any new holes drilled which should not be hard. I am assuming this would be ok as the omnibox looks longer anyway,
Makes me wonder why over the years no tech has changed the box or covered that exposed connection. Ok yes my connection has been ok but sometimes its not , and it could be due to this
Some parts of the forum say exposed cables dont interfere. I dont buy that,
Anyone?
