    Coaxial Outlets Dangerous Or Not

    I was wondering could these be dangerous at all.



    I know power outlets can be dangerous for obvious reasons. You can get shocked because of the power running to the outlet.

    However I understand coaxial, and phone outlets get some kind of power which explains why there are surge protectors designed to protect coaxial/phone outlets from getting power spikes, so obviously they must get some kind of power.

    So would this mean dealing with coaxial outlets involves some kind of risk of getting shocked?

    When installing cable modems or cable boxes I've been shocked before.

    But the it is not enough to kill you, just tickle a little. lol.

    Usually, if your getting shcoked, when it's hooked up to your t.v., something is faulty with the ground in your t.v.
