Name of wire that came with sky hub

IMG_5118.jpeg

can someone please let me know what the name of this wire is? It's incredibly short and I'd like to buy a longer one so that my hub can be placed in the middle of my flat rather than the isolated location where the wall socket is

That particular cable is RJ11 to BT Jack (431A), sometimes referred to as an ADSL modem cable (but note RJ11 at both ends is often sold by the same name)

That one is an rj11 to standard bt phone jack for a telephone

 

If you want to move the hub you need a rj11 to rj 11 dsl cable

Re: Name of wire that came with sky hub

Thanks for your reply. I'm wondering if this cable would be alright? It doesn't look ex actly like the one I posted so I'm wondering if there's something different I need to do?

If you are on a superfast fttc connection that would be the correct one
