Due to the distances involved , I would like to extend the length of
the normally supplied connecting cable between my external DSL modem
and the PC. I believe this is an RSJ cable .

Is it possble to have a connector which would , say , join two lengths
of such a cable and still work OK ?

B.N.
 
Yes no problem, unless your extending a significant length compared to your
phone line. Just think the signal has already travelled km's. a few extra m
of extension wont hurt. To be on the safe side, use an extension that used
twisted pair cable. Most ADSL RJ12 extension leads are already twisted pair.
 
Maximum length of solid UTP cable is 100 m (328 ft) (straight line) but
maximum length recommended for stranded cable is 10 m (33 ft). Patch cables
are mostly made from stranded cable. Any connector additionally attenuates
the signal.
