As demand for faster and further transmission came about they developed better cable. My knowledge and experience of it ends at cat6 but everything above 5 will carry tv signal at least 325 feet.

I guess I could take a plate off the wall and see how it's labeled but my question is who do i call to make them hot? I am sure it requires something done either at the connection box either outside or in our garage. Spectrum was useless...my old house had a closet in the hallway you connected a router switch to and this allowed all the ethernet jacks to be live through the switch. There was a single coax connection for your cable modem and you connected your switch to the modem. That is what I was hoping for here...
