It will affect PQ, but marginally. Your current lead should be terminated with an f-type adapter, so get another coax with f-type ends on it, and an f-type coupler from maplins thats costs 89pence

Once joined, wrap the visible connection with electrical tape as it will help shield it a little from any contact interference you could possibly suffer...
