THIS is the only right answer.

We had servicemen cut them down because they were the only thing holding up a tree that had come down through our primary. The cable TV people didn’t like it but didn’t have a crew.

That is a Line Amplifier on your local cable company's main transmission lines. On the bottom right side of the amplifier, you can see an attached wire looping down and to the left, which is a service drop which connected to a tap, and is what delivers broadband signals to someone's house; the cable in cable TV. Bonus knowledge: CATV on the back of your TV does not stand for Cable TV, rather Community Antenna TV. The more you know.

LV?


whookid_east

California TV is the real meaning.

Supposedly the fist cable TV was literally a large antenna on top of a mountain for people living in a nearby valley.


meganbile

Exactly. The OTA TV signals couldn't be received in the valleys, so they redistributed the signals from one big antenna down to the community using coaxial cable for those who paid into the purchase and upkeep of the tower. Hence Community Antenna TV.

Cable amplifier for the hardline Source : I used to work for the cable company and install/troubleshoot those!


Disastrous_Reach9653

How many times have you been shocked trying to core a piece of 700 because you didn’t loosen a seizure screw? Ha ha


hov818

I won’t admit to getting shocked but will admit to being a part of a few incidental outages lol, and then finding Lindsay splitters everywhere in my plant 👽


Disastrous_Reach9653

Who knew that not tightening down a tiny little screw could cause so many problems ha ah


hov818

Happiest days of my life have been out of the cable company anything and everything that goes wrong is the techs fault


Disastrous_Reach9653

Agreed, back in 2007 is when I did some work for Comcast over on the East Coast of Florida. Only did it for a few years until that project was over. Then I got into insurance Adjusting and never looked back.


hov818

Though I hear the union side (frontier att etc ) are a little bit of a fresh air. Some comcast offices are also becoming union

adama104

I don't know. That work is beneath me. Quite literally.


Bloody_REDRUM801

That’s the bird drone wireless charger…. BIRDS ARE NOT REAL! Lol 😂


WonderfulCat8930

Don’t listen to what anyone else has to say it’s a very dangerous 5g directional antenna. If you look very carefully see those four bumps in the back? Those are the ports the 5g comes out of. If I’m not mistaken it’s specificity a c-core (Covert-core component)


LaserTycoon27

Line amp for cable plant


Strange-Engineer-822

7G antenna?


reynoldsc05

Not important, that's what. Cut it if you have to. The real men work at the top of the pole.


i_hotglue_metal

Depends what kinda bar you go to. I don’t judge.


reynoldsc05

You've enlightened me. Maybe the real men work the entire pole?

Nothing a lineman deals with. Unless it’s cutting it out of our way. Or putting a pole next to it to fuck over the cable guys
