Cable & Phone lines

In tracing the Cable and phone lines in my unit, I have found that most if not all the cable lines in the single bedroom units, in the master bed room, there is a wall cover plug with the cable line wrapped up in it. It may have both the cable line and the phone line installed along with a pull line.

There is also a cable line in the living room on the CMU wall. In my Unit 402, for some reason, there was newspaper plugging the whole. The date on the newspaper was April 14, 1998. The cable line was inside but was not an active line.

There is also a cable "J Box" on the outside common wall between the two units approx. 16" up from the floor. By removing the cover place, you will have access to each of the cable lines in the two units. The wiring is black in color and marked, but not with a legable or rather understandable code.

The problem I find so far is that the cable lines in the "J Box" are black and the ones coming out from inside the unit are either Brown or White. This indicates that there have been some changes to the interior by someone at some time, but so far, I am finding that the after market installation is neither consistent nor logical. This usually indicates that the installation was done by more than one person.
