FTTP upgrade - "Conversion kit"

Hey, 

 

Just ordered the upgrade to FTTP and was told I'd be sent a 'conversion kit' for my router. 

 

What's arrived is just a short Cat5e ethernet cable. 

 

Is that it?

 

If so I wish they'd have said, I've a drawer full of ethernet cables and the one they've sent isn't going to reach.

Where a subscriber is already using a Sky Broadband Hub or Max Hub for FTTC or ADSL, the 'conversion kit' facilitates connection of the WAN port (eth #4) on the Hub to the ethernet port on the ONT to receive FTTP.

 

ISPs always supply whatever they consider to be a standard length cable, and it's up to the customer to source a longer one if needed.

Thanks for that reply. 

 

Sorted through my drawer of cables and found a Cat7. 

 

Over kill for any home network but it'll be well within any limits.
