Is it safe to unplug my router and remove the coax cable?
Asked by

I'm wondering if it's safe to unplug my router and take off the coax cable from the wall using my hands. Should I be using a tool, or is it fine to do it manually? I'm a bit concerned about electric shocks, so I want to make sure I'm doing it safely!

You definitely won't get electrocuted! Unplugging a coaxial cable is totally safe. These cables are well-shielded, and there’s no electrical current running through them. If you're having trouble unscrewing it by hand, you can use pliers to help loosen it up, but really, you should be good to go just using your hands.
