Hi

Is this cable suitable for a fibre installation?

Thanks.

By "fibre installation", do you mean Fibre Optic Broadband?

Yes, sorry for not making my post very clear.

Yes, the cable supplied is too short to where I need to locate my router, hence the cable listed in the post.

Many thanks

basically the cable supplied is going to be too short. Because, the BT Socket is nowhere near the power socket

enfield_freddy

Couldn't you use an extension socket for the power?

No, because it would mean plugging an extension lead into another extension lead.

Maybe just make a long extension lead.

hang on are you talking about an extension mains lead or what , if the OP plugs that lead into the BT master , moves the modem into the next room , close to the TV or PC , plugs that wire in and the mains lead , job done

In theory that would work, but using long phone cables can affect the speed and stability of the connection, which is why its recommended to have the router close to the socket.

5m shouldn't make too much difference thou, especially on fibre.
just make sure the cable is of good quality
