FAQs

What type of connector does this lead use?

This Electrovision extension lead uses standard RJ11 connectors, commonly found on telephones and modems.

Can this lead be used for high-speed broadband internet?

While it can be used for broadband, for optimal performance with high-speed internet, it is generally recommended to use the shortest possible high-quality cable run. This 10-meter lead may introduce slight signal degradation over its full length, depending on your service and line quality.

Is this lead suitable for Ethernet networking?

No, this lead is designed for telephone lines and uses RJ11 connectors. It is not compatible with Ethernet networking, which uses RJ45 connectors.

How long is the warranty for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Can I cut this lead to a shorter length?

It is not recommended to cut or modify the cable, as this will likely damage the internal wiring and connectors, voiding any warranty and potentially rendering it unusable.

Will this work with a cordless phone base station?

Yes, as long as the base station connects to the wall socket via a standard telephone line and uses an RJ11 connector, this extension lead will work.

What is the difference between RJ11 and RJ45?

RJ11 is typically used for telephone lines and has 6 positions with 2 to 4 wires. RJ45 is used for Ethernet networking and has 8 positions with 8 wires. They are not interchangeable.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone or weak signal.

Ensure both RJ11 connectors are securely plugged into the wall socket and the device. Try plugging the extension lead directly into the wall socket without any intermediate splitters. Test the phone or device directly without the extension lead to confirm it is functioning correctly. Inspect the lead for any visible damage.

Device not connecting to the internet (modem/router).

Verify that the extension lead is fully functional by testing it with a standard phone. Check that the RJ11 connectors are firmly seated. For high-speed internet, ensure the cable length is not exceeding optimal requirements for your service provider, as longer cables can sometimes affect signal strength. Consult your ISP for recommended cable lengths.

Cable appears damaged or frayed.

Discontinue use immediately to avoid potential signal loss or safety hazards. Replace the damaged cable with a new one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This extension lead is designed for straightforward plug-and-play use. Simply connect one RJ11 connector to your active telephone wall socket or an existing extension socket, and connect the other RJ11 connector to your telephone, modem, or fax machine.

Compatibility:

The lead uses standard RJ11 connectors, which are compatible with the vast majority of analog telephones, ADSL modems, and fax machines. It is not compatible with Ethernet (RJ45) connections or other types of network cables.

Care:

To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.
  • Do not place heavy objects on top of the cable.
  • Prevent sharp kinks or bends in the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. A dry, lint-free cloth can be used for cleaning.
