Problem is folks the possible damage that can be done, if the wire in the middle of the coax touches the metal screw point on the modem, it can short out the modem.
Also any joins in the cable couse SNR and power level problems, thus a new attenuator may be needed at the back of the modem to boost or cut the power level.
And droping a cable of on the way to a job, its just not possible. He has to get to all his alocated jobs within the day and sort them those engineers dont have an easy job
