That cable between modem and wall socket


[link to this post]
 
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a spare coax cable
(the one that runs from the modem to the wall termination unit ?)

Ideally I'm looking for about 7 or 8 meters, as I need to temporarily relocate the PC for a few weeks.

I got some short pieces from B&Q. Maplin maybe?
Search ebay for ntl cable.


NTL 20meg
When it works, it's great. When it doesn't, NTL support really suck!

Or if you struggle to find a long coax cable, why dont you leave the modem where is it and buy a long ethernet cable?

Thanks for the reply.
Might have to....but first I'm check 'online', as per SidBarker's reply.

BTW, I did think of just extending the ethernet.

Only problem is the original room will have a guest staying there, which means I'll have to leave the modem powered on 24x7, as I won't really have access to the room.

Not a big problem I suppose.
But if I can extend the coax, and can relocate the modem, meaing I can switch it off every evening, along with the other PC stuff
