How to extend the usb cable from the lte antenna?

Good afternoon!
Outside the window is this antenna:
5bd43096343f3300260013.png
From it comes a cable literally 1.5 meters to the router (in the attic). Unfortunately, frosts begin, the attic is not insulated, and in winter the temperature there can reach -30 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it was necessary either to assemble the box, which is inconvenient, or, which is more logical, to lengthen this one and a half meter cable and let it go down. You need to lengthen it by 10 meters, exactly as much is needed for the router to stand in a comfortable, warm place. First of all, I bought an active usb cable 10 meters, which, of course, loses the signal. In any case, if you connect a USB flash drive to a computer, he sees it, but if you connect that one and a half meter cable to mom, and dad to the router, the router does not see anything. The question arose: how do people lengthen such cables? There is not much information on the network, in general they are soldered by inserting a twisted pair cable between usb ports, but there are plenty of comments with bad reviews.
Thank you!

Usb does not lend itself well to elongation. You will need some kind of amplifier. Perhaps you should just install frost-resistant equipment?

Close your modem in a steel box with a 100W bulb

In this case, it is not the USB cable that is being extended.
Options 2. A hermetic cabinet or outdoor router is placed in the attic, from which a twisted pair cable (internet wire) is already stretching where it needs to be.
Option two - use a signal amplifier from which a television-type cable will go down.

As an option, place active USB hubs along the cable path every 5 meters (despite the fact that the cable is of high quality, otherwise more often), but these are additional points of failure.

A box with a light bulb is a good proven solution. But we must not forget to turn it off for the summer, otherwise the router can fry.
You can also stuff it into a soup thermos (if it fits), and insulate the wires. Or make a box out of styrofoam. The router itself generates a lot of heat, if it is insulated, it will not freeze.
