At this point I think you'll be a lot farther ahead calling in some professonal help.

I would prefer to extend all the individual units of the structured cable - that is the whole purpose of structured cable. I would also try to relocate the existing box in such a way as to maximize the number of cables that are "shortened" rather that "stretched". If the whole reason for relocating the box is to free up some space, splicing all six cables is going to take up just as much space. Given that there seems to be no electronics involved in the UX-226, I might even try to just move it up into the ceiling, maintaining access to it. If possible relocate the box where you can reuse all the structured cable and extend the incoming phone/Cable TV using standard splicing techniques.

If you can split the existing cables between two boxes, given that the UX-226 seems to be a glorified splice point using jack and plugs, there is no "communication" between boxes so you could either use a standard coax splitter before either box, feeding one coax to each box; or simply take an output from one box and connect it to the input of the second box. Ditto for the phone - whichever is easier, either take one output from the first box and extend it to the input of the second, or us standard telephone splicing/tapping techniques to feed the incoming phone line to the input of both boxes. (If you were using the RJ-31 feature for an alarm panel you would have to feed the incoming line to the box where the RJ-31 is used and go from an output of that box to the input of the second box).

Unfortunately I really have to second justbill and say that some of your questions are basic enough that having to ask them means that you would be better off getting a professional wiring contractor involved. Not that this can't be done as a do-it-yourself, but you would still have invest in the tools and training to properly splice/terminate the cables.

Thanks for you help.

I was just trying to get an idea of what went into moving this box’s and if it was even possible before I enclosed this area.

You guy’s have been so helpful with your ideas. I plan on have someone come and move it.

Thanks again
