Yeah. While electrical isn't really all that hard

(at least residential electrical isn't all that hard, industrial electrical is where it gets complicated)

if your basis of knowledge is being unsure whether or not you can swap coax for a 120V outlet, then don't even try.

The main issue will be pulling all new wiring, which is likely going to be somewhere between difficult and impossible without tearing up the walls.

Totally different wires, so no. BUT...you may be able to use the coax -- Coach McGuirk 07/10/2017 9:03PM

Only in limited circumstances since the code for running romex and coax -- jmanatVT 07/11/2017 10:26AM

I would suspect the odds are good. You are only going to fish through one -- Coach McGuirk 07/11/2017 10:59AM
