Section 14:18-3.26 - 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 television operator, so long as no electronic or physical harm is caused to the cable television system and the physical integrity of the cable television operator's wiring remains intact.(b) Cable television 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 television operator; provided, however, that if electronic or physical harm is caused to the cable television system, the cable television operator may impose additional technical specifications to eliminate such harm. To the extent a customer's installation or rearrangement of wiring degrades the signal quality of or interferes with other customers' signals or causes electronic or physical harm to the cable television system, the cable television operator may discontinue service to that customer until such degradation or interference is resolved.(c) Customers shall not physically cut, substantially alter, improperly terminate or otherwise destroy cable television operator owned home wiring.N.J.
