I agree. Especially because it seems there are a few cable companies who will go around and replace all your connectors as a matter of course. I really don't know why then I would bother to supply connectors, plates and splitters when they will be discarded. I would just run the cable and put blank plates at the jack locations.

I know you guys want to know how to do some CATV stuff but it really is another trade and your work is not always appreciated when you do it.
