Moving a BB Connection

[Skavenger]

Hi,

I'm wanting to move the broadband connection from one room into another. To do so I need to actually move the white box on the wall, the cable outside should be long enough to reach the new room but before I strip the box down and take it off the wall I want to make sure its possible to reassemble it afterwards.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, just in case does anyone know what type of cable goes from the brown box (outside) to the white box (inside)?

Thanks,

Moving it will require you to remove the F-connector from the end of the cable. You will not be able to re fit it as it is crimped on.
You can bodge a new one on but it won't be ideal.

Call virgin and pay to get it done properly

Thanks for the info, I knew there would be some sort of crimped on connector. Thats why I posted the question but I'd rather pay £2 for a connector that £25/£50 for a call-out all for 15 minutes of "technicians" time when the job is going to be easier than wiring up cat5e cable jacks.
