ITs best to get a 'barrel connector' and another piece of coax with
connectors on both ends to lengthen the cable.


Actually, it's best to replace the whole coax... no connections
in the middle. But, if that is not viable, the barrel connector
is certainly preferred to other options.

The idea of insulation tape is NOT a good one, too many possible
problems could result from it.
