You may want to drive by one day and see if there's someone in the lot that you can ask, but your best bet is to look for someone on a job in the area. The techs that service your area come out of River Road in North Arlington, but they're on the road early. Cable-ready TVs have ingress problems in Secaucus if used without a converter, just because of the extremely strong OTA from Manhattan. I remember doing a job on Radio Ave where I had to run a separate drop for every TV in the house - if a splitter was added on, it threw ingress on both sets, even with all new Belden quad-shield RG6. It could even affect other cable reception in your house. I can absolutely guarantee you that, if you use Radio Shack cable, it WILL snag ingress (over-the-air channels breaking in on your 'closed' cable system) and mess up your pictures - you might as well toss your money off Harmon Cove Towers' roof. When I was a tech, we did this all the time. It looks like a simple plug at first glance but the compact, rugged design makes it highly portable and usable in the tightest corners. Your best bet is to look for one of the Comcast trucks in your area that's stopped to do a service call or installation and just ask them if they'll make you up a jumper on the spot. A Gigabit RJ45 Loopback Tester is an exceedingly user friendly cable tester. In Secaucus? Please DON'T use Radio Shack cable! Secaucus is one of the highest-level areas for ingress in the Big World 'O' Comcast, being that it's right across the river from Manhattan.
