Red-ended cable

AndrewRye — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 17:40:47 GMT

My new EE router is working well, but the 2m red ended cable that was supplied to connect it to the wall socket is too short. Is it possible to obtain a long one (3-5m)?

@AndrewRye yes, just go to your preferred shopping outlet and get a Cat5e cable or better and go for the length you need. Screwfix, Amazon or B&Q all have them. You can even get the colour you want.
