Adrian, I too thought of an extension cable, but my good lady wife, didn't
want long lengths of telephone cables running between rooms. Not only that,
one of the rooms the cabling would have to go through, has tile flooring, no
go right away.

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.

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!
