Moving Virgin Box - advice on extending cable

Hi

Apologies for what is probably a standard question, but I have searched the internet and found the information a little confusing (the fact the so many cable types have been discontinued is one factor).

I am redecorating and plan to move my Virgin box to the other side of the room. I therefore require new cable. Key points:

Joined Virgin around 6 months ago
I want to buy decent quality cable
I don’t want to extend, but rather replace the cable (see above )
I will pass the cable through the under floor cavity which is very damp so I require something resistant to moisture (I can pin to the underside of the floorboards if advised)
I would prefer to buy the whole thing made up, rather than the component parts if possible (I get the impression the best connectors require specific and costly tools….).

I thought I needed WF100 and standard F connectors, but after looking at my existing cable (and further research) I’m less sure.

My existing cable (originally installed by engineer) is marked as “UTFC-T100 8185”. The existing connectors are marked as “PPC EX59 08” (they screw in to the box and the adapter). The box is a “Samsung SMT-2110C”.

Please let me know if you need anything more
