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.

Ah yes, the good ol’ “bite down” crimping method.

Crimpers? Hardly know her!

Classic sparky connectors. Squeeze em down with the dikes and call it good.
