Longer Telephone Cable Needed

Morning all,

 

Just moved to Sky Broadband today and the supplied connecting cable between the phone socket and router is a bit too short. Can I just ask somebody to confirm that I need a BT phone line plug to RJ11 and should it be 2 or 4 wire and crossover or not?

 

Would this be suitable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crossover-Telephone-Extension-Virgin-British-White/dp/B081F98CCM

 

Thanks.

@Essex+Stephis this the phone that you are trying to connect to the router to the filter or flitered facplate for the internet that has to rj11 sockets on each end?

If someone has helped give them Like.

@Essex+Steph did you get the cable you found on Amazon and does it work?

 

I have the same issue, moved into a new flat and the phone socket and the plug are positioned in useless positions. 😁 That's why I would love to get a longer phone cable to replace "the grey cable".

@Myrthl all you need is a simple dsl cable which can be bought online in whatever length you need as long as it has a rj11 plug on each end.  The link above is for a crossover cable which is a bit odd it may work but no idea why it is described like that.
