ᐅ CAT cables in the utility room – not crimped?

Hello everyone,
some of you already have your houses partly finished. Our electrical supplier offered us the following:
All telephone, CAT, and antenna cables will not be installed inside conduits and are delivered without being terminated (at the distribution panel). All telephone and CAT cables end at the distribution panel.


The final electrical installation was apparently completed yesterday, and indeed, all the cables are at the distribution panel. But they are not terminated; they are just the bare wires.
We expected the cables to have connectors attached.
Are we mistaken, or should/can we request that the cables be properly terminated?

Good luck,

The electrician must be really fed up discussing this with what feels like 50% of homeowners. Why doesn’t he just offer it as a standard service?

The answer is that prices could unsettle certain parts of the population.

The electrician just needs to mention that this work has to be done anyway. It doesn’t matter whether it is done by him or another company.
This way, the customer benefits because the electrician can take care of it immediately, so they don’t have to hire another company or pay for an additional trip, and everything comes from a single source. Meanwhile, the electrician gains additional business.

A win-win situation.

Electricians and commercial thinking are sometimes two different worlds.

I know. But the way things are going right now, it’s just plain customer deception!
