Thanks for the replies. Its not going into a phone line as the phone line is downstairs and its the upstairs box thats umplugged. At the phone point i have the microfilter which houses the phone line and the ADSL cable and the phone cable is into a white splitter which is the downstairs box phone connection and this cable runs upstairs into the bedroom. Its this one thats too short.

It looks like a RJ11 connection so i was thinking that i could just plug the connection into a female RJ11 and then the other end which would be male into the back of the unplugged box. Phew confusing!
