Yea Forums, what the fuck is this green wire for?

Lmfao, lying little faggot.

Ground dont cut it dumb nigger I dont even know shit about electricity

Thanks.

physical ground

This guys here knows. The green color indicates the wire is used by Comcast to comply with EPA regulations. It works to throttle the connection, thus creating less electrical noise, which can create issues for people sensitive to it. It's all bullshit, of course. Just snip the wire.

what does a ground wire means?

Ground.

Touch it with the tip of your ding-a-ling.

It means that the wire is grounded. It goes to ground, the electricity will seek to equalize and the ground has less electricity running through it than the wire.

Ground to reduce noise on the line. Cut it and your signal quality drops.

it is a ground so when you get hit by lighting your $1000 tv doesn't fry

so its a wire from a house that carries energy? so that means if you touch it you are done for good?

That's a waste of electricity.

google exists, there is this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)
and google willl give you several better guides

It goes to a ground rod somewhere.

if you don't know what a ground wire is, you probably shouldn't be fucking around with that box OP

It's an NSA spywire. Watching you shit.

idk why everyone is saying its a ground, they dont know what they are talking about. wifi is low DC and doenst require groudnig, these guys are right, remove it and you will notice at least somewhat of an improvement.

....................If your ground wire on a telecomunications cable is live at any cosiderable voltage AC or DC then someone else deserves to touch it. Nice troll man you got me to bite

No, its only about energy potential. From higher to lower - it's mainly used to keep things from burning up from electrical surges.

Like I tell my 8 year old yea, no. A ground is no match for lighting. It causes a dead short that throws the breaker.

Not always, but most homes use a ground rod. It depends on the situation.

It's a fucking wiretap? Oh, good thing I cut it and fucked your dead grandmother with it.

Easy there skippy. You might fall down and hurt yourself.

Ah yes, the language of the gods

why is the splitter on the right not inside the weatherproof box?

Because it was probably a nigger prem-tech.

Because they switched cable companies and that's the old one, notice cut cable.

Can confirm. The ground is to balance your signal to the nearest amp and/or splitter tap.

>Sub contractor for Comcast here

Go ahead and cut it if you want. It’s there to also stabilise the transfer of AC as well, so the worst it’ll do is overload your drop connection and burn the wire out, unless your connection comes in Aerial, and your drop runs from a pole. Then if the strand becomes energized due to a power jump, it’ll blow up

The green wire is the government required NSA tap you stupid Fucking retard.

it means green for go, as in go fuck yourself

both makes sense, lazy as fuck techs. if you do have a splitter op, send one end straight to modem, then the other end attach another splitter to terminate on your devices so your network doesnt take a hit but peripherals might

HOLY SHIT X FILES WAS RIGHT!

What has this place become where no one is gonna check these fucking quads?

oh that's a funny one

tpbp
have my children

FBI monitoring

It’s not for lightning. It’s a ground path for any current that leaks into the line. Which could happen due to a short in a television, cable box, on the pole outside the house, or any number of other places.

It also keeps all the cable shielding on that node at the same electrical potential, which prevents significant current flow in the shield which would generate noise in the signal.

its the water line. you hook the other end up to the outside hose spigot

>wifi is low DC

WiFi is a radio signal. The signal carried on the copper cable line is low voltage AC.

>they don’t know what they’re talking about

They know more than you.

Ground. And the moca filter is in the wrong spot. Spectrum tech here.

Don't need to if you have a bluetooth hose tho

DON’T TOUCH IT!!!!

Little known fact...a subcontractor disconnecting this very same wire started the fire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

Ground or Electrical bonding;

not really, shit happens, you can have a faulty cable box or an amp that ends up adding current to the line.

what about an H2O to HDMI cable?
