Broadband modem connection
Not sure if this question is relevant for this group, but it's a bit
DIY'ish. My ISP is Telewest and I have a broadband connection via a modem which they provided and set up. I now want to reposition my PC (and obviously the modem also) to another room in the house. I am reluctant to get Telewest in to do it as they will probably charge the proverbial arm and leg, so I want to do it myself. I have a junction box near to my PC from which a cable goes to the modem. To put the PC in another room I need to extend this cable or replace it with another longer one. The cable looks like a normal co-ax but the connectors at either end appear to be brass and are a screw fitting into the junction box and into the modem. Can I buy the connectors and cable myself and if so can anybody recommend a cost effective source? Is there anything special about fitting the connectors to the cable or is it similar to normal co-ax TV aerial cable? Thanks for your help. Pete K. |
