    Hi Folks. Firstly, apologies for the lack of correct terminology here but I will do my best to explain.

    I have an outdoor office, electrician has run shielded CAT6 through conduit from my house to my outdoor office. He has left himself a bit short on cable and so we are looking to extend.

    Is it just a matter of purchasing an extra few meters of cable and joining it using a CAT6 coupler? (the coupler will be located within the office and won't be exposed to elements from outside) - the length of overall cable would be less than 50 meters.

    Appreciate any help.
