It is an inactive jack in the house. The cable is there but there is
no connector on it (and just a blank plate).
And right now it just carries basic non-digital cable, but that may
eventually change.
The worthless web sites for the borgs don't show it, but I know they all
carry low-end crimpers to go with the connectors they sell. They also
have expensive 'wanna be' pro-look crimpers, but the real pros get them
from the online jobbers they order their cable and connectors from (at
half the borg prices.)
It is a good tool to have, along with a few spare connectors and
couplers, and some cable. If a mouse chews through the feed just as
somebody's chick flick is starting on a Sunday evening, you'll be able
to fix it post-haste.
Do you know where the other end of that cable behind the blank cover
plate is? Is it connected to anything? Odd to prewire, and not finish
out the cable connectors.
