Another "what is it?" - Strange jack

[escuchopeliculas]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of pulling some old jacks from my house. I have a strange small 2 prong jack that I need help identifying. I'm pretty sure it's an old phone jack or possibly for an antenna but figured I'd check with you guys.

I tried finding the other end of the cable but it is buried behind a duct.

The two outer holes are screw holes. The center ones are the plug. It's connected to a black, 2-conductor ribbon cable.

I get no voltage from the cable on the multimeter.

Thoughts?

Thanks

300 ohm flat antenna lead.
if you need to use it, you will need a balun to convert to 50 ohm coax that most tvs use .

+1 for TV antenna run. Do NOT ruin that as could be quite useful.

Both RG6 and RG59 Coax cables are 75 Ohm

Wow, I haven't seen one of those in decades! Here's what the mating plug looks like.

Doh!
You're right - It slipped my mind, been a while since I messed with A/V.
I am more RF (thus the 50 ohm reference)
