FAQs
Is this compatible with fiber optic setups?
This cable works with the copper telephone side of your connection, provided your ISP utilizes a standard BT-style wall socket.
Can I daisy-chain two of these cables together?
While it is possible, it is not recommended as it significantly increases the likelihood of signal degradation and connection instability.
Does this cable support high-speed broadband?
It is designed to carry data, but performance may vary depending on the quality of your home's internal wiring and the total distance from the exchange.
Is the cable shielded?
The cable uses standard telephone-grade wiring appropriate for home voice and data applications.
What is the exact connector type?
It uses a standard UK BT plug and socket interface (BS 6312).
Troubleshooting
No dial tone after connecting extension
Ensure both the plug and socket are pushed firmly into place. Verify the connection by testing the device directly in the master wall socket.
Noticeable static or line noise
Check for cable damage, such as kinks or cuts. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power cables, which can cause electromagnetic interference.
Internet/ADSL drops intermittently
Verify that your ADSL filter is correctly positioned at the start of the line. Consider using a shorter cable if the length exceeds the recommended specifications for your internet provider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your avlink extension lead, simply insert the male BT plug into your existing master wall socket or existing extension socket. Connect your telephone or modem device to the other end of the extension cable. No configuration is required by the device itself. Regarding compatibility, this lead works with all standard UK BT telephone systems. To ensure longevity, avoid running the cable under heavy furniture that may crush the outer casing, and keep the connectors free of dust and moisture. If the cable is not in use, coil it loosely to prevent stress on the internal wires.
