Getting an Extension Cable for my Hub

Looking for an extension from my wall Virgin box to the Hub. Does Virgin do anything like this? This is just a straight connection cable and not the ethernet one

    AFAIK, the longest pre-made coax lead VM supply is 3m (which they should be able to send you).

    For anything longer you need a VM tech visit to custom-make a lead and test the connection. Flat fee of £25 for the tech visit.

    Hi Dfoundation24,

    Thanks for your post and a warm welcome to the Community Forums.

    As mentioned by goslow, we can send out up to 3M cables, or we can book in a chargeable Technician to attend your property and provide a custom-sized one.

    Please let us know if either of those options are something you wish to do, and, if so, one of the team can drop you a private message to get this sent out/booked for you.

    Thanks,

      Hi Reece,

      Massive thanks for the response. A 3m cable would be amazing if you could arrange for this to be sent?

      Many Thanks

        Evening Dfountain24 🙂

        I've popped you over a private message to get a few more details from you (purple envelope, top right hand corner)

  • @Alex_RM sorry for jumping in on this thread, could I get one of those cables sent out? Trying to move my hub from behind the TV where the socket is as WiFi signal is impacted but the provided cable wasn't long enough.

      I'm sorry to hear you need a bit of help with a longer cable. Have you been in touch with the team to arrange and sort this since your post? If not then please respond to the private message that I'll be sending to you shortly and we can proceed from there.

        Hello @Zach_R - I could also do with a longer cable, if it would be possible to send one? Thanks
