Topic: Coax Cable

A long-standing internet connectivity issue was finally resolved when a technician discovered that squirrels had chewed the insulation off the outdoor coax cable. The technician also found that the house was wired with the wrong grade of cable (RG59 instead of RG6) and that the signal voltage was "too hot," requiring an attenuator.

A technician named Corey identified the source of long-standing internet connectivity issues at a residence in Northern Silicon Valley. The problems were attributed to squirrels chewing through the insulation of the outdoor coaxial cable, a physical kink in the line, and the use of outdated RG59 grade cabling instead of the required RG6. Additionally, the signal was found to be "too hot," requiring the installation of an attenuator to prevent feedback loops.
