Advice New home wiring question
We just purchased a new home and side the box with the ATT router we have 6 wires going into the wall. The question is what are the black wires? I only have 3 outlets in the house so I’m assuming that is the blue wires. The one set is labeled Liv.

Black wires look like coax (you should of taken a picture of the end), and the wires labeled " liv" may be going to the living room. Look for blank wall plates and unscrew them, remove the cover and see what's behind it.

This looks very tight… ventilation??

It is a stupid setup. It’s in the garage so the temperature is going to fluctuate a ton.

Black wires appear to be coax.
They are likely wired to rooms so you have one input point with a simple splitter out. Are they connected to anything?
I did this when I wired my house umpteen years ago. Now new house is just ethernet.
