Cable extension

Fifitrix49 — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 10:49:59 GMT

I am building a media wall and moving my sky q from the corner to the middle of the room. How can I extend cable from the wall input to the middle of the room - current cable isn't long enough? Will sky provide an extension or do I purchase online? What connector/ cable do I purchase? Thanks for any support

And always test before sealing the wall up ; )

Hiding a skyq box in a wall isn't a good idea as it needs ventilation
