Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing a reliable connection for their ADSL or VDSL broadband modem/router. The key benefit is a stable, high-speed internet connection thanks to its full copper, gold-plated RJ11 connectors. A minor caveat is that it's specifically for ADSL/VDSL connections and not Ethernet. The cable provides a crucial link from your phone line (via an ADSL filter) to your modem or router, featuring a low-profile flat design for easy concealment.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates stable high-speed internet connections.
  • Low-profile flat design allows for discreet installation.
  • Gold-plated RJ11 connectors ensure a secure and corrosion-resistant link.
  • Generous 30-meter length provides placement flexibility.
  • Full copper core enhances signal integrity.

Cons

  • Only compatible with ADSL/VDSL connections, not standard Ethernet.
  • Requires an ADSL filter for connection to the phone line.
  • Flat design may be less durable than round cables if subjected to sharp bends or constant stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your modem or router is powered off.
  2. Connect one end of the RJ11 male connector to your ADSL filter or the designated phone socket.
  3. Connect the other RJ11 male connector to the corresponding port on your modem or router (often labeled 'DSL', 'ADSL', or 'Internet').
  4. Power on your modem/router and check for a stable internet connection.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is compatible with all ADSL and VDSL broadband services.
  • It uses standard RJ11 connectors (4-pin, 6P4C).
  • It is suitable for use with most ADSL/VDSL modems, routers, and broadband hubs.
  • Note: This is *not* an Ethernet cable and cannot be used for networking devices directly or connecting to Ethernet ports.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris.
  • If the cable is routed under a carpet, ensure it lies flat and is not subjected to excessive weight or constant foot traffic.
  • Clean the cable exterior with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
