I asked if he could use a longer cable so that the splitter would be behind furniture or something to hide it and basically he said no, he didn't have any other lengths of cable.

Guess I've learned my lesson the hard way!
My guess is he just didn't want to go back to the truck and cut a piece. He should have had a whole roll on the truck and could cut you a piece as long as you wanted. I have a roll that, when I bought it, was 500 feet.
