Coaxial Cable Connection

With this pandemic going on the technicians weren't allowed to come into my residence, so I'm having to set it up myself. The problem i've ran into is that I don't have a wall outlet in my house. I found the cord he was talking about that was coming out of the floor, but I can't connect it because of the compression connector on the coaxial cord coming out of the floor causing it not to fit properly, this is the only cord in my house. Can anyone help me out with this situation?

Another option would be to call around your local area for a low voltage electrician. You may be able to find one that is willing to do it for you. Good luck !

There isn’t much you do because of the pandemic. Get the proper tools, cut it, pull it where you need it and put a new connector on. Or extend the outlet with another piece of cable. Sorry you weren’t clear about this. Check YouTube there’s tons of diy videos to help get it done. Or post a picture of what you’re referring to for clearer instructions

I'm confused by the statement that the connector doesn't fit.  Some people get confused by something like a terminator on the end of the cable.  (If so, you just unscrew it to remove it.) As mentioned, maybe you can post a picture of what doesn't fit?

Even on a normal day a tech can’t go into a house with nobody there
