It looks like an old "ThinNet" patch panel full of female BNC connectors for patching together old 10Base2 Ethernet networks. If so, it's probably early 1980s but could be anywhere in the range of about 1977 to 1990.
Definitely coax similar if not identical to 10-Base-2... I heard it was for patching something-or-other for a MAINFRAME somewhere in the building, so it might pre-date Ethernet. It was pretty dark in there so I never read the type of cable so I'm not 100% sure what it was used for.
