Telephone Cable Lead - Kenable - 2m - Black

This cable uses BT 4-wire (431A) male connectors on both ends, also known as 4P4C plugs.

No, this cable is straight-wired for 4-wire connections and is not suitable for older rotary dial phones that typically require a 2-wire connection.

Straight-wired means the pins are connected directly (1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.), which is standard for most modern voice equipment like digital phones and answering machines. Other cables might be 'crossed' or have different pin configurations for specific devices.

This cable is designed for voice telephone lines only. For broadband, you typically need an ADSL microfilter and a specific ADSL cable, not a standard voice telephone cable.

The cable is 2 meters in length.

The cable is black.

Yes, the gold contacts help to prevent corrosion and ensure a cleaner, more reliable signal connection between the cable and the ports.

Verify both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Check that the BT socket and device port are clean. Test with a different, known-working telephone cable if possible. Ensure the device itself is compatible with a 4-wire straight connection.

Inspect the gold contacts on the plugs for dirt or damage. Gently clean them with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not kinked or damaged along its length. Check for electromagnetic interference from nearby power adapters or appliances.

Confirm the device requires a 4-wire straight connection. Some devices may have specific wiring requirements. Consult your device's manual for compatibility.
