Extending co-ax cable (Sky)

Bifta · 30-09-2005, 13:17

Not sure if this is in the right forum or not, I'm sure it'll get moved if it's not.

I need to extend (somehow) the cable coming in from the Sky dish to the digibox, what's the best way to do this as the TV and box both need to move to the other side of the room, presumably you can get connectors of some sort but I've no idea where to look. Any help would be appreciated

My local homebase had the correct connectors and cable when I moved all my sky stuff. Woolies also have them near me.

Maplin - you can get widgets that allow you to screw f-connectors together.

Here we go - it's called an 'F Connector socket to socket coupler':

Maplin also make a ready made extension cables in 1 metre 5 metre and 10 metre lengths.

I bought the 5 metre one recently to extend my Sky digital cable.
