Optic cable

[gail0279]

I am renovating my family room and want to change placement of TV.  But the optic cable is too short.  Where can I buy a much longer cable about 20 feet

By "Optik cable", do you mean "Ethernet Cable" ?   

If so .. you can buy them in various lengths at Home Depot.  This one :  25 Foot Ethernet - Cat 5e grade - Home Depot - costs $22.45 .

No I really do mean the optic cable that goes from the wall jack to the WiFi modem has a green end to it

Would need to know what the wall outlet is configured for.

Does the connector look like this (Ethernet)

or is it like this (Cable):

Either should be available at Best Buy or other electronics/computer stores.

Green ended cable? Would it be like this one by chance?

[gail0279]

Ethernet cables are cheaper and easier to get than fiber optic patch cables. You can just move the Optik TV box and connect it to the router with a longer Ethernet cable.

Hey! Are you looking for something like Cat 5 or HDMI? Both are quite easy to track down on Amazon or at electronics stores such as BestBuy.

There are presumeably two cables. One connecting the PVR to the router (Ethernet) and one from the PVR to you TV (HDMI). Both of these are readily availble in various lengths at places like Best Buy or Amazon.

thank you

I don't need a technicain to call.  I just want a much longer cable so I can reconfigure location of my TV.  i would need 30ft of cable to accomplish this.  Where can i buy?

How fast is your WiFi? Can the tv box connect wirelessly?
