*Sigh* sorry for making two topics that weren't necessarily discussing the same thing...it was also so that I can get answers to each question since I'm used to always having my questioned partially answered when I group them all in one post.

I believe there are gloves that are safe to use when handling with any kind of cables such as coaxial cables, power cables and so on.
However I'm not so sure about the following two types. I have a pair of latex gloves and vinyl gloves.
Would these generally be safe against electrical shocks from a power outlet (like duplex receptacle outlets)?
And what about against coaxial outlets? I noticed there could be slight sparks coming from those sometimes when connecting them to coaxial cables.
Thank you so much for your help.

Now I have a question regarding coaxial outlets.
I was wondering could these be dangerous at all.
I know power outlets can be dangerous for obvious reasons. You can get shocked because of the power running to the outlet.
However I understand coaxial, and phone outlets get some kind of power which explains why there are surge protectors designed to protect coaxial/phone outlets from getting power spikes, so obviously they must get some kind of power.
So would this mean dealing with coaxial outlets involves some kind of risk of getting shocked?
