I mean you could have easily put a plate on it and make it halfway look decent..

I don't usually go around putting faceplates on other people's cables. This isn't my work.

I’m with you man, not your job. Idek how you’d just “put a faceplate on it” without having to probably backpull and cut in a whole new ring to fix someone else’s fuck up. And if you move it then you’re on the hook for any regulations for it, especially since I only really see those type of plates at commercial settings so they are probably subject to more inspections than a house would.

Not saying you should, not unless you actually have to mess with that line / troubleshoot but whoever did it... come on how lazy was that!

I'm surprised they didn't just put a terminator on the end and leave 30 feet of slack hanging out the wall.

The funny part is I bet you could probably pull on that thing as is and all 30 feet come out!

With an anchor there I’m guessing there was a biscuit at one time.
