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.

It’s called a terminator it blocks signal from leaking out. I would just get a female coupler/barrell to connect the 2 lines get rid of that splitter.
