It would be simpler to just attach a resistor. That much cable is
going to be so lossy that any useful signal going in will never see
the other end.

The solution is to use 40ft of Cat9 to extend the wireless router.

Cat9, hmm, the only Cat9 I know of is -

and while it's quite lengthy, 40 feet of them would not be suitable for
use at microwave frequencies.

Perhaps you meant Cat5.

It is a neat tube though.
