Hi, I want to extend my vm coaxial so its long enough to go upstairs is there any sort of connecter which i can use so its
COAXIAL WITH F PLUG -> SOME SORT OF EXTENDER -> COAXIAL
will a splitter be the only option or is there something else ?
any help would be very much appreciated

A splitter is only needed if you intend to run two devices from one feed.

To extend, all you need is a length of coaxial cable with F-connectors on the end. Some RG6 should do the job. Not ordinary TV coax. For example this:-

100m Black RG6 Satellite + Freesat TV Aerial Coax Cable | eBay UK

or for better quality this:-
WF100 Cable 25m BLACK WEBRO SKY, CAI APPROVED FREE P+P | eBay UK

Yes, they are used to join to coax leads that have f-connectors on them together.
