Link Link Link That's all you need. And the best thing to do is to buy a new cable for the whole thing, in this case you only need two Fs, because with UPC they are probably crimped.

It would not be easier to connect this modem to the computer using a twisted pair. Modem at this point, what is it and connect to the computer with a cable?

I want the Router to be next to the PC due to the connection of 2 laptops and the console to it, and after WiFi, the console has problems with online games, so it also wants it to be close to the PC because the console is connected to the monitor.

Plugs should be crimp / compression, not screw-on. My colleague did not even bother to check the signal level in the modem / decoder, and he started extending the cable. It's easy to break the installation.

UPC will do it well for PLN 50 and will also give FVAT and a guarantee. Consider this option.

With a few meters, the parameters will not change.

In fact, the crimped F's are better, but when put on correctly, they will also do their job.

50 or 70 PLN for a piece of cable is quite a rip-off - a meter of good cable in detail costs ~ PLN 2, plugs less than PLN 1. It is easy to count how much the operator earns on such a service.

We are talking about at least a few meters. First you need to know what the signal is, and there is a loss of ~ 1.5 dB on each (branded) plug / barrel. The cable also suppresses its own. When the signal is on contact, such rummaging in the installation will worsen the parameters. No supplier does that, it's against the art. In addition, the problem is that if someone has no experience, he will not wind the plug the first time. Pulling the cable to the other room, good plugs (not for PLN 1, only compression Tratec, Vector, etc.), and maybe also a socket and labor in the amount of PLN 50 (UPC) is not an excessive price, especially since there will be a guarantee for it - like sometime breaks down you will be entitled to free service for the installation. And if you funeral something yourself and the service will see the F-cars and other drucistwo wind up, they will add it for the repair. Not that I would advise against it in every case, but if someone asks what cable and terminals to use and does not even look at the signal, they will probably not do it properly and that is why I advise using the service of the provider.
