Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 006064 is a 20-meter white telephone extension lead designed to extend existing 6-wire (6P6C) BT extensions or function with standard 4-wire household telephones. Its key benefit is the flexibility offered by its flat cable design, which allows for discreet installation along skirting boards or under carpets. A minor caveat is its specific compatibility with BT-style connectors, limiting its use with other telephone systems.

FAQs

What type of telephone sockets does this cable work with?

This cable is designed for 6-wire (6P6C) BT extension sockets and is backward compatible with standard 4-wire household telephone sockets. It uses BT-style connectors.

Can I use this cable with an RJ11 connector?

No, this cable is specifically designed for BT-style connectors (6P6C male plug and female socket) and will not work with RJ11 or other connector types.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 20 meters.

What is the benefit of the flat cable design?

The flat cable design allows for easier and more discreet installation. It can be trailed along skirting boards, under carpets, or behind furniture with less visual impact.

Is this cable suitable for high-speed internet or DSL?

This cable is designed for standard voice telephone connections. While it may work for some DSL connections depending on your provider's specific requirements and the wiring, it is primarily intended for voice telephony.

What is the color of the cable?

The cable is white.

Can I cut the cable to a shorter length?

Cutting the cable will likely damage the internal wires and connectors, rendering it unusable and voiding any warranty. It is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone or poor connection quality

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Check the wall socket and the device's port for debris. Test the connection with a shorter, known working cable if possible to isolate the issue.

Cable is not extending the connection effectively

Verify that the cable is fully inserted into both the wall socket and the telephone. Confirm that the telephone system being used is compatible with 4-wire or 6-wire (6P6C) BT connectors.

Intermittent connection or static on the line

Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts or kinks. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of electrical interference. Try a different wall socket to rule out socket issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify your existing telephone socket and the device you wish to connect (e.g., telephone, fax machine).
  2. Ensure the existing socket is a standard BT-style socket, compatible with 6-wire (6P6C) or 4-wire connections.
  3. Connect the male plug end of the Kenable extension lead into the wall socket.
  4. Connect the female socket end of the extension lead to your telephone's standard line-in port.
  5. For optimal discretion, use the flat cable's design to trail it along skirting boards or under carpets, securing it as needed to prevent tripping hazards.

Care:

  • Keep the cable free from sharp bends or kinks to maintain internal wire integrity.

  • Ensure the cable is not placed in areas where it can be easily damaged by furniture or foot traffic without proper securing.
