Wired-up BT 10m Telephone Extension Cable Suitable for BT and Other Networks

Product Information

First of all, we'll connect a fibre cable to a small box that we'll fix to your outside wall, close to where your phone line enters your home. We'll drill a small hole in your wall to push the cable through, before covering it tidily with the box.

This is used to provide your voice and broadband service. It's also known as an Optical Network Termination box or ONT. I have what should be a simple question but struggle to find an answer for - which I need before my upcoming contract renewal (or not). Your phone and broadband service may stop working briefly during this work, so it's a good idea to have a mobile handy.We can use a 30m extension cable, but it can only go along walls - not under carpets or floors - so please move any furniture that's in the way Will adding a coupler and an extra length degrade the signal such that the link is no longer stable / operational? This said... you could get a coupler, and a "singlemode" SC/APC cable (if our suspicions are correct about the connector and fiber type). This might work, but due to the nature of what you're dealing with, we cannot be sure. Although wireless networking technology is now largely familiar, wired networking still has its place in office environments or locations where Wi-Fi reception is poor, for example. Ethernet cables, which provide high-speed data connections between PCs, are a modified form of telephone cabling with a high capacity RJ45 connector. To connect more than one device to your phone line, you'll need a splitter. The splitter must connect to the phone part of the microfilter

My question is simple (I hope) - if I renew and the copper analogue is turned off to the property can I just connect my distribution box to the router for the phone extensions keep working - unless a way to maintain the functionality of the current extensions can be guaranteed I have no interest in renewing at the moment (I realise I will need to eventually).It's worth bearing in mind that fiber doesn't typically get "extended", but rather spliced (fusing the two cores to form one continuous core) due to the losses, reflections, and other degradation to the signal. This isn't something that you'll be able to do yourself, and won't be something that the "standard" OpenReach guys can do either...
