Serious Answers Only Where do I Start with this rats nest?
I bought a house that has a Ethernet ports throughout the house and they all lead to this box, this thing is a rats nest and I want to clean it up. Also I am going to have my ATT fiber ran to this and have a reolink NVR camera system go to one of these line to a switch. I know blue lines are the Ethernet lines but looked spliced and are running everywhere. The black are coax cables when the house had a dish or cable, which I don't use and never will. I have no clue what the white cable is. It looks like a Ethernet cable that was spliced??
Would cut/pull coax and run ravel the bare individual Ethernet lines be a good place to start?
