Hey folks, I just moved into a new apartment and not sure where to plug my cable modem and what cable to use. I think the port that I have marked in red is probably the one, since it’s the only one that’s free. But what sort of connector is that?

I am in Germany and I have a FritzBox Cable box, if that helps.

Thanks in advance :)

Right one is a splitter, left one is a wiretap

Chances are about 98% that this is the supposed port for the cable modem.

Just hook the fritzbox up and give it a try
