Hi everyone

Ok hope someone can help me? I am having a loft conversion done and moving my equipment into the loft, sadly my NTL coax doesn't reach the loft.
What is the best way to extend my cable? I have read that extending the cat5 instead of the coax would be a better option as I am less likely to loose signal strength. That means my cable modem would have to stay where it is, I would like to put the modem in the loft rather than leave it where it is.
What kind of cable do NTL use and what kind of fittings would I need, could I join the coax with a connector and send it to a wall mount with no signal problems?

Thanks
