If you were competent to splice the two cables together and eliminate the connector, then yes, that would work, but why bother? It's quicker to just bung in a phone line extension of the appropriate length. Better still, buy yourself a long length of phone line and replace the entire Sky installation. If you're careful you can remove the cable clips from your skirting boards and re-use them all in the same holes. You end up with a single cable of the right length with no splicing or bare wire ends in the middle.
