I found these sockets in each of the rooms in my apartment. Some look like coax sockets and others, like RJ-45 / RJ-12 sockets.
Does anyone know what these are for?
Could I use them to set up a wired LAN?
For the coax cable, how do I know if I have cablecom and on the hook for paying the monthly fees?
My rental contract does not have this information.
The first is TV and radio, the others are RJ-45 for LAN.
There should be a cabinet in your appartment where you could place a Switch to make the connections work.

Cable (coax)
For the Ethernet there should be a patch panel hidden somewhere. Check the fuse box
For cable, back in the day this was part of the extra costs in a rental agreement because there was only one company. Today every tenant usually has a contract with cablecom/Swisscom/etc. on his own. If you didn’t ask your landlord yet I’d probably start there.

Cable TV and radio.
