Something to do with toxic fumes produced when burned.
My understanding from the site electrician is that the "shotgun" cable is fed into the house to the lounge area where it is split to the 2 output points, Data & RF.

"Don't use any of those splitters. And be wary of cable. Air blown/honeycomb coax causes all sorts of grief"

Can you offer a splitter option that I could use. Alternatively, I suppose that I could directly connect the extension cable at the VM outlet (using F type connectors is perhaps possible). This could remain concealed within the outlet and behind the dry lining.

What are thoughts on using WT100 coax as an alternative to the "shotgun" option.
