If you are happy with the place the wall socket is then you can just get a longer cable. From what I can tell it is standard white CT100 cable with Augat Snap n seal connectors. You can get cables made up with these connectors fitted at places like

then just tack it round the walls and find a way into where you want the box to be. How TW will remember where they put the box I dont know.

The farnell links in the article still work and they also now sell a crimper for £22 or so in case you want to have the tools and diy.


hi and to the site , a longer cable may cause problems
