The alternative is of course to buy an extension cable rather than a box
that needs to be wired up and fixed to the wall. Such simply have a
plug on one end and a socket on the other. Not quite as neat but much
easier. I used one for a temporary location recently which was an ultra
flat cable, the wire part being of a lower profile than standard
telephone type. About 2 mil thing and 4 or 5 wide.
And still cost less than a tener.

Hi Billy,
Probably, but you need to know the colours of the 2, 3 or 4 tiny wires
in the cable and the numbers of the push-down sockets in the box. You
will also need a push-down tool, but they are only a few pence. Given
that you might not be able to do the job without sighted help, you might
as well get a vision to do it for you!
