Existing cables from virgin socket
Hi, I just received my self install kit and am ready to install. My question is about an existing coaxial cable that is already coming out of my socket box - picture 1. The cable looks fairly old and has a forward path attenuator screwed onto the end as well -picture 2. (I'm not going to pretend I know what that is or if i need it so if somebody could tell me in simple terms what it does then great). I cannot get this cable out of the socket box. It doesn't pull out or unscrew even with help from tools. So can I just plug it into my hub 3 and not use the cable provided in the self install box? Is it safe?Will the age of the cable make a difference to my wifi etc? Should I just get an engineer out? Thank you
