@DJASZ Are you talking about the Ethernet cable back of the hub connected to port 4 wan, or a rj11 vdsl cable connected to a Openreach master phone socket, either one are available from the likes off amazon, just get the length that you need.

In theory (and for educational purposes only) a length of simplex single-mode OS2 fibre terminated with SC APC plugs plus an SC APC junction box might serve to relocate an ONT.

Openreach officially disapproves of such solutions.
