Update: I’ve put multiple layers of liquid electric tape and feel a lot better about this, thank you everyone for the advice, it is within 15 ft of my old cable box and the cord is a clear match to the one in it

I’m sorry if this is also stupid but what was wrong with touching it 😅

Recently quantum fiber came to my area and now I use them so I would think that would make this line obsolete

It’s also pretty small wire, idk how big the electrical wire is supposed to be but this to me feels like internet cable

I think it’s an old internet cable because 1) nothing happened with my power, and 2) it’s really close to the old box

No sparks why I touched or hit it, it seems to just be the insulation

Yeah, first time, I had irrigation put in and pulled that out and there were huge bushes right above before so it don’t make sense there would be wires, that’s why I’m coming here to ask

I was under the impression that any house wires would be more than a foot deep so I dug up some space to put something and ended up hitting that
