FAQs

What is the difference between this cable and a standard phone cord?

This cable is specifically designed for broadband data transmission. While both use RJ11 connectors, this cable has all 4 wires connected, which is necessary for ADSL/VDSL data, whereas standard phone cords often only use 2 wires for voice calls.

Do I need an ADSL filter with this cable?

Yes, typically you will connect this cable from your ADSL filter to your modem/router. The filter separates voice and data signals. The cable connects the filter's modem output to your device.

Can this cable be used for Ethernet (LAN) connections?

No, this is an RJ11 to RJ11 cable for ADSL/VDSL broadband connections. Ethernet connections use RJ45 connectors and different cable types (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6).

How do I hide this flat cable?

The flat design allows it to be easily concealed under carpets, along skirting boards, behind furniture, or taped discreetly along walls.

What does '6P4C' mean for the connectors?

'6P4C' refers to the connector type: 6 Positions, 4 Conductors. This indicates it's an RJ11 connector that utilizes 4 of the available 6 positions, which is standard for ADSL data transmission.

Is the 15m length suitable for all setups?

The 15m length provides flexibility for longer runs. If your modem/router is very close to the phone socket, a shorter cable might be more manageable to avoid excess coiled cable.

What is the cable made of?

The cable features a high-speed, full copper construction with 5x0.1mm bare copper strands (32AWG) and gold-plated RJ11 connectors.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection

Ensure both RJ11 connectors are securely plugged in. Verify the ADSL filter is correctly installed and functioning. Test the cable with a known working connection if possible. Check other connections and router status lights.

Slow internet speeds

Check for any kinks or damage to the cable. Ensure the cable is not run near sources of electrical interference. Test with a shorter, known-good cable to rule out cable issues. Clean the RJ11 connectors gently with a dry cloth.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for damage. Ensure connectors are firmly seated. Try a different RJ11 port on your modem/router if available. Consider if the 15m length is causing signal degradation over a very long, potentially noisy run; a shorter, shielded cable might be more appropriate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Long 15m cable length offers flexibility in placement.
  • Slim, flat design is discreet and easy to hide.
  • High-quality copper construction supports good performance.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable signal integrity.
  • Standard RJ11 connectors offer wide compatibility.

Cons

  • 15m length may be too long for shorter runs, leading to excess cable.
  • Flat design, while discreet, might be less durable than round cables if stepped on repeatedly.
  • Requires an ADSL filter, which is not included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Ports: Locate the RJ11 port on your ADSL modem/router and the RJ11 port on your ADSL filter (or directly on the wall socket if no filter is used).
  2. Connect One End: Plug one end of the cable (RJ11 male connector) into the designated port on your modem or router.
  3. Connect Other End: Plug the other RJ11 male connector into the modem/filter port.
  4. Connect Filter: Ensure your ADSL filter is correctly plugged into the main phone socket.

Compatibility:

  • Modems/Routers: Compatible with standard ADSL and VDSL modems and routers that feature an RJ11 port.
  • Phone Lines: Designed for standard UK telephone lines.
  • ADSL Filters: Works with most standard ADSL microfilters that have an RJ11 output port for the modem.

Care:

  • Avoid Kinking: Do not excessively bend or kink the flat cable, as this can damage the internal copper strands.
  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Physical Stress: While designed to be discreet, avoid placing heavy furniture directly on the cable or repeatedly stepping on it to prevent damage.
