Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this cable?
This cable connects your ADSL/VDSL modem or router to your telephone line's broadband signal, typically through an ADSL filter, enabling your internet connection.
Is this cable suitable for gaming or streaming?
Yes, the full copper construction and gold-plated connectors are designed to provide a stable, high-speed connection suitable for activities like gaming and streaming, provided your broadband service supports these demands.
Can I use this cable for my Virgin Media broadband?
This cable is specifically for ADSL/VDSL connections using RJ11 phone line connectors. Virgin Media typically uses coaxial cable and Ethernet connections, so this cable would not be suitable.
What does 'low profile flat cable' mean?
It means the cable has a very thin and flat cross-section (2mm height, 4.5mm width), making it easy to conceal under carpets or along walls without being obtrusive or creating a trip hazard.
How do I know if I need an ADSL filter with this cable?
If you also use your phone line for voice calls, you will need an ADSL filter to separate the voice signal from the broadband data signal. This cable then connects from the filter to your modem/router.
What is the difference between RJ11 and RJ45?
RJ11 is typically used for telephone lines and ADSL/VDSL connections (smaller, 4-pin connectors). RJ45 is used for Ethernet networking (larger, 8-pin connectors).
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this cable is not designed for PoE. It is solely for data transmission for ADSL/VDSL broadband connections.
Troubleshooting
No internet connection after setup
Verify that both RJ11 connectors are securely plugged in. Ensure the cable is connected to the correct port on the router/modem (DSL/ADSL) and the phone line/filter. Restart your modem and router.
Intermittent connection or slow speeds
Check the cable for any visible damage, sharp bends, or kinks. Ensure the connectors are clean. Try connecting the cable directly to the phone line without a filter to rule out filter issues. Test with a shorter, known-good cable if possible.
Cable does not fit modem/router port
Confirm that your modem/router uses an RJ11 port for the DSL/ADSL connection. This cable is RJ11 (4-pin) and is not compatible with RJ45 (Ethernet) ports.
