ADSL2+ cabling help

Hi all, I need a bit of advice regarding some cabling. Our phone socket is in our hallway but unfortunately we have no mains socket in the hallway. There is currently a hole drilled through the wall into the living room behind the wall and a cable is fed through to our router which is situated in there beside a mains socket. We have recently renovated our living room, and we need to move the router to a different location, so I will need a longer ADSL cable, probably around 10m.
I am wondering if I purchase an ADSL2+ cable, and cut off one of the connectors to allow the cable to fit through the hole in the wall, can I crimp a standard RJ11 connector onto the ADSL2+ cable? The ADSL2+ cables appear to be thicker than a basic ADSL cable and I�m afraid a standard RJ11 connector won�t fit?
This is the type of cable I�m thinking of purchasing and cutting one of the connectors off - https://www.amazon.co.uk/1STec-Extension-Infinity-Br...
Any advice welcome, thanks everyone

You could get one of these

Then you don't have to play with the end connectors, just choose a place to fit the joint box, cut the cable, joint it in the box and you're done. The box is tiny.

Other suppliers are available.

Why not just use telephone extension cable all the way ? With an extension socket at the router location, and the cable terminated on the frontplate of the NTE in the hallway.

Also, not entirely sure what you are calling an �adsl 2+ cable� ? Do you mean cat5 ?

Hi, thanks for both your responses. I never thought of a joint box tbh but it something I could consider! Ideally I would like to avoid installing an extension socket in our newly renovated living room, if I could get away with just having a cable ran directly though it would be preferable.
The adsl2 cable I�m referring to is the same as the one linked in my original post, which can support higher speeds than standard adsl, apparently it also picks up less interference also as its twisted. I�m looking at this cable as I have to travel about 10m from my hallway phone socket. As you can see from the cable in the link however, the connectors are moulded and not crimped so I�m really just wondering if a standard RJ11 crimp end would fit that cable

The alternative is to put a mains socket in the hall next to the master socket. Should you ever decide to upgrade to a FTTC product this would be highly recommended as all extra lengths of cable should be avoided in this case, and to a lesser extent with ADSL.

Yes, you need to check the pins been used on the old cable normally centre pins (two wires) if the new cable has 4 wires just cut the outside two also ensure you have a good crimping tool as a bad crimp, increasing the cable length can cause interference and slow slower internet.
