I expect to find a very high value since the coax was installed within the past few years. Currently it is attached to a splitter installed by the cable company. I'll probably remove the splitter and insert a female to female feedthrough adapter to provide the best possible signal quality to our television. Then I'll make simple adapters, one with straight solid wire to a coax female jack, another with a coax male plug to a female modular telephone jack. Nothing even remotely sophisticated. But, it should do the job. Thanks for the info! - Mark Mark Henigan --
