Hi there - I'm new to the forum and have a question regarding removing a prior installation.
When I moved into my house 7 years ago I had NTL cable installed in an upstairs bedroom to supply a PC with broadband. Now, that bedroom is soon to be a nursery and I wish to remove the cable. It come through the wall and is attached to a Qamtex splitter which itself is housed in a large white plastic box on the wall. I have removed the box and was wondering if it is safe to remove the Qamtex splitter and stuff the cable back into the wall or do I need to do something to it first?
I have no idea whether the cable would pose an electrical hazard or not? I don't want to have a large NTL box on the wall of my baby's bedroom but obviously don't want to do anything stupid...
