- identify which cable goes to desired room
- install appropriate connector.
Down here in Marsh Bend, only 2 of the 10 coax cables were terminated with connectors, and none of the Ethernet cables were terminated. I had Galaxy come to our new home to properly terminate all the cables, label them, and test them. Then I added a large splitter to provide a working coax cable connection to each room. For Ethernet I just left cables as is, as I decided on whole house mesh WiFi to take care of internet.
Even though I could have done the cable and Ethernet connecter installation all myself, I decided Galaxy's price was right, as all my tools and test equipment were still at my previous home in Oregon.
It's a mystery as to why this wasn't done originally when the home was built.

This is why when I had DirecTV installed, I asked the install to put connectors on all of the cables in the low voltage box.
