Easier than running 60 yards of cable?

[abefroman123]

My office is expanding into the office next door. The server room is about 60 yards away. We need one data cable and 3 phone lines in the new space. One option is to run a few new cables from the punch-down into the new office through the walls and ceilings. Not easy or fun to do.

I know we could run a cable from the closest router through the ceiling to get a computer going in there. Is there any way to do something similar for the phone? If I have an open phone jack already connected to the server room could I just extend it another 10 yards for the phone? Would you simply yank it out of the wall and splice/patch cable it? Our company is not the least concerned about aesthetics, I just have to get the phones in there going.

I'm not sure if you're looking for permission or just checking to see if it's been done before. I've used these in a pinch

Splicing will work.
