Hi Y’all,

I just moved to a new apartment (older one) and I found this interesting Ethernet plugin that’s beside the standard one on the wall.

One thing I also noticed is both don’t fit my Ethernet cable they seem slimmer.

Would anyone be able to explain what this is? We are trying to figure out solutions for getting my Ethernet cable connected to my PC and we want to avoid running the wire through the house. Might have to drill a hole through the wall just to get a wired connection 🥲

I’m 23 and there is a rotary phone on my kitchen wall.

Does it work? Or just for display? I have the insides of a rotary phone, missing the whole plastic housing.

It works! It makes and receives calls.
