When I bought this house 20 years ago now, I had to put connectors on the
cheap RG6 cable they prewired with. I used the Radio shack cheap
connectors that were about a buck for a pack of 10. Cut and trimmed the
cable with a pair of dikes and crimped the connectors with a pair of
channel locks. They still work fine today. It aint brain surgery, just do
it right. Now, if someone used those screw on non crimp type that cost
more and aren't worth a crap....
