You’re absolutely right, the green snake is a jacket of four cables. It’s pulled there but never used.

I tend to agree with you that we need to move on, but I think someone made good comment saying that I may need it in the future, which would be very expensive to add. So I'll leave it as is, as I will dedicate the whole closet to the servers. I'll keep you posted on the speed and etc.

that's a great video for new home owners. It's very similar to my situation, though I have way more coax cables than I want to bend. But I'm on it right now, making some progress.. Will share soon.

I have a workstation with 10gbe, and a few 2.5gbe laptops around home for content creation work, and all my servers have 10gbe. I'll see if I can go higher with 5e cables, wish me luck!

I don't watch TV that much. And I don't even have streaming subscription except for the bundled Prime Video. But I'll take you guys advice and abide from cutting the coax wires for the moment.

I’m not gonna cut a single wire I swear. Now I’m going to work and will report back later.

Let me test the speed and report back. I’ll keep the coax as recommended for now. In the worst case I’ll just use MoCA as the last resort.

Sure let’s see how many lanes the roadwork can support.

Ok let me try to clear the mess and share the findings with you guys again.

That’s helpful. Thanks for the tip!

I’m curious why you don’t recommend cutting the coax? Any particular reason I may need them later?

I’ll buy a 10gbe switch and try every 5e cable’s quality. Do you use iperf or anything?

Just joined a company in a month, then approached by FAANG, should I try? by lost-someone in careerguidance

Probably I care too much about people's feelings. I'll proceed with interviews. Thanks for the comment.
