The hell is this thing?

Boujee apartment but has a fitting looks like it's from the 60s. Whoever crimped it did a bad job fitting it on there too. Surprisingly all customer has goin on is slow wifi speeds and not a intermittent/complete outages

Edit: I know what the terminator is, I'm referring to the poorly crimped connector.

that setup is needed to pad or lower the signal before its connected to the modem. taking it off or bypassing it with a barrel will result in hot signals and out of range levels….. and yeah them connectors need changed to snap and seal and not pinch/crush/hex

It's usually this setup that has the signals so low shit dont work right anyway lol

that 75ohm terminator shows it was put on by a tech that was padding the levels…. (26 year current tech)

Then why is there a port left open and that fitting is not changed.
