Is an extension cable enough for full fibre installation?

I'm getting full fibre installed in a few days and heard that you need a double power socket for the ONT and the Wifi Hub.

Will an extension lead be sufficient? I don't really have any available double sockets.

@kookyraisin 

The router is connected to the ONT via an Ethernet cable. As such it doesn't need to be near the ONT. If you have a better location and are happy to run cable then that might be your answer.

 

You might also have a choice or where the ONT is sited. There's flexibility on this if possible so speak to the engineer on the day.
