Coaxial Cable Troubleshooting: Because You Asked For It

Are you experiencing issues with your coaxial cable? Don't worry, it's not you, it's just the cable.

Common Symptoms

• Intermittent connectivity
• Signal loss
• Spontaneous combustion

If you've checked the obvious (i.e., not plugged it in)

• Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. No, really, try it again.
• Verify that you're not just experiencing a bad case of cable-induced existential dread
