§ 76.806 Pre-termination access to cable home wiring.
(a) Prior to termination of service, a customer may: install or provide
for the installation of their own cable home wiring; or connect
additional home wiring, splitters or other equipment within their
premises to the wiring owned by the cable operator, so long as no
electronic or physical harm is caused to the cable system and the
physical integrity of the cable operator's wiring remains intact.
(b) Cable operators may require that home wiring (including passive
splitters, connectors and other equipment used in the installation of
home wiring) meets reasonable technical specifications, not to exceed
the technical specifications of such equipment installed by the cable
operator; provided however, that if electronic or physical harm is
caused to the cable system, the cable operator may impose additional
technical specifications to eliminate such harm. To the extent a
customer's installations or rearrangements of wiring degrade the signal
quality of or interfere with other customers' signals, or cause
electronic or physical harm to the cable system, the cable operator may
discontinue service to that subscriber until the degradation or
interference is resolved.
(c) Customers shall not physically cut, substantially alter, improperly
terminate or otherwise destroy cable operator-owned home wiring.
(d) Section 76.806 shall apply to all MVPDs.
