Yes. There are 5 others that I did find where they go to. Plus my cable in and a bunch of other coax I haven't started looking at yet.

The one you found comes out of a wall box?
Looks like pro install or home brew?
What type of test equipment do you have available?
1. Early 2000s
2. 2+basement.
3. Yes
4. Large wall box yes
5. All other Cat5 cables I found go between a wall-mounted RJ45 jack and the central panel (answer 4). There are no more RJ45 jacks in the house as far as I can tell. Only place I haven't checked is the attic... Hmmmm......
6. All of these look professionally installed, but are noticeably separate (length, material, etc) from the rest that actually go to a wall jack.
7. Cheap two-piece wire tracer. Was like $25 on Amazon. Plug one end of an RJ45 in on one piece, and run to all the wall jacks and plug in the other piece until you find the right one.
