Cable for equipment longer

Hey guys and gals 

I need to move my equipment to another area in my living room. I need a longer cable/extension. How do I go about doing this and how much does it cost if there is a few.

 

Regards

Phone as if it is a fault.

As only faults are covered by your monthly charges, there is a standard charge of £25 for non-fault related callouts however much work is involved.

VM BB TV Landline. Vonage 2nd line. Freeview/Freesat HD, ASDA/Tesco PAYG Mobile. Customer since 1993

Re: Cable for equipment longer

they do a 3metre one that i believe they will send out - getting that to happen is the challenge as the muppets that are offshore are not likely to understand what you want

VM cable is special but theres always a few on ebay that are said to be genuine VM items - your choice against the £25 call out charge

Re: Cable for equipment longer

The cable in this link is higher rated (WF100), however I would never condone using your own cable...

Especially not if you were thinking of using screw-in connectors.
