Cable for router

I need to reposition my router hub but the supplied cable is not long enough and need to move it 2m away. Does virgin media supply the cable or can I buy elsewhere 🤔

    VM will supply a 3 metre cable free of charge, just wait for a staff person to pick this up.

    Do not buy a 'compatible' cable on line or in a shop. They are not the same and could cause problems.

    It’s 100% OK to buy ready-made SHIELDED 75ohm coax cable terminated with BNC-connectors provided that you buy from a reputable source such as Amazon.  And you’ll get it faster.
