Product Information
Full details
This Kenable 005656 BT Telephone Extension Lead is designed for users needing to extend their existing telephone connection up to 3 meters. Its primary benefit is providing a simple, reliable extension for standard household phones. A potential limitation to consider is its specific connector type (6P6C), though it is backward compatible with 4-wire systems. Key features include its 3-meter length, flat cable design, and white color.

FAQs
What is the maximum length this cable extends my phone line?
This cable extends your existing telephone line by 3 meters.
Can I use this cable with a standard UK phone socket?
Yes, this cable is designed for standard BT telephone sockets which typically use a 6P6C connector, and it is also backward compatible with 4-wire systems.
Will this cable work for broadband internet?
This cable is designed for voice telephone connections. While it might carry a broadband signal in some configurations, it is not specifically optimized for data and may not provide optimal performance for broadband internet.
How do I best hide the flat cable?
The flat design allows it to be easily placed along skirting boards, under carpets, or behind furniture. Use cable clips if needed for a more secure installation.
What is the difference between 6P6C and 4-wire?
6P6C refers to a 6-position, 6-conductor connector, commonly used in modern BT telephone systems. 4-wire refers to older systems that used fewer conductors. This cable supports both by being backward compatible.
Is the cable shielded?
Information regarding specific shielding is not provided, but it is designed for standard voice telephone use.
Troubleshooting
No dial tone or poor call quality
Ensure both ends of the extension lead are securely plugged in. Check your existing telephone line for faults. Try connecting your phone directly to the wall socket to rule out issues with the phone itself.
Cable does not fit the socket
Verify that your telephone socket is a standard BT type. This cable uses a 6P6C connector; ensure it matches the socket or your existing cable's connection point.
Intermittent connection
Inspect the cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or worn insulation. Ensure the connectors are clean and free from debris. Try a different telephone extension lead if the problem persists.
