    Found this cable in my room. says DS6T.02-04 Digicon on it.

    Anyone know what this is?

    Is it connected?

    It sounds like a broadband/cable tv cable type.

    not connected to anything, but I found out it hooks up to my TV, so thanks for that.

    But it doesn't do anything when I plug it in.

    ...You need to check both ends...cable tv does nothing without being connected to something...


    You remind me of my brother, touching unknown items constantly XD

    a description or pictures of the connectors would be more helpful than anything else

    The name reminds me of the optus one I had before, and the fact that he said he fits seems to fit in with my thought...almost too well.


    But wether or not it is a cable tv cable is another story...


    ANy pics or a desciption of what it looks like-and is it connecting to the antena slot like I am assuming?

    Pictures would allow us to ID the cable for you. It could be a left over audio/video cable from an old game console.

    well it plugs into the back of my TV and it has a wierd needle on it so you have to like screw it into the port on the TV, and I have no Idea where the other end is because it just comes up out of the floor.

    Looks like this http://www.arrisistore.com/images/full/708860.jpg

    thats for cable TV/internet. its the incoming signal that goes into the modem/cable box.

    That's a pretty basic cable connector...

    So what exactly is the question? You made it sound like you had no idea where it went, but now you say it plugs into your TV? Seems pretty obvious that it's your cable TV :)

    Yeah that's the one.

    at first I didn't know anything about it, then thanks to everyone I found out it goes in my TV, but i had no idea what it did, and now I know that so thanks.

    That's the beauty of Romulation.

    No to find the other end :p

    The other end is likely at a splitter where ever your cable comes into the house. Usually near where the telephone and power comes in.

    Since it goes through the floor it means who ever wired the house for Cable was lazy and didn't put a cable outlet on the wall like you should, and instead just drilled a hole and popped the whole cable through.
