Moving hub to different corner of room. Need a longer co-axial cable.

So I am moving my living room around and would like to put my hub in another corner of the room, but need a longer co-axial cable

I believe you can get 3m ones?

  • Not sure if you mean a co-ax or ethernet cable. You can get ethernet cables of lengths up to around 10m complete with plugs at each end. Just Google "ethernet cable" and lots of offers come up. Be sure to get a Cat5e or, better, a Cat6 cable

    Ordinary co-ax cable is available in reels of large lengths so you can cut the length you need. Fitting standard co-ax plugs to the cable is a simple 5 minute job.

      You must NOT use any coax cables except those supplied by VM. The OP is probably on a DOCSIS connection, as are most users, and knows exactly what they want, Ethernet cabled devices would be useless.

      The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.
