Product Information
Full details
This high-quality Kenable ADSL/VDSL/DSL RJ11 cable is designed for home users and small businesses needing a reliable connection between their broadband modem/router and the phone line via an ADSL filter. Its key benefit is a discreet, low-profile flat design that easily conceals under carpets or along skirting boards, promoting a tidy setup. A potential caveat is that while ideal for standard ADSL/VDSL connections, it's not designed for faster Ethernet networking.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is an RJ11 connector?
An RJ11 connector is a standard phone line connector, typically with 6 positions and 4 conductors (6P4C). It is smaller than an Ethernet connector (RJ45).
Can I use this cable for my Ethernet network?
No, this cable is specifically designed for ADSL/VDSL/DSL connections and uses RJ11 connectors. It is not compatible with standard Ethernet (RJ45) ports found on computers and network switches.
How do I best conceal this flat cable?
The flat design allows it to be easily placed under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture. Its low profile minimizes visibility.
What is the conductor material?
The cable features a full copper construction with 5x0.1mm bare copper strands (32AWG) for high-speed data transfer.
Does this cable come with an ADSL filter?
No, this product is the cable itself. An ADSL filter is typically a separate device that may be required to connect your modem/router to the phone line.
What does 'low-profile' mean in this context?
Low-profile refers to the cable's slim dimensions (2mm height, 4.5mm width), making it unobtrusive and easy to hide.
Is this cable suitable for VDSL connections?
Yes, the cable is designed for ADSL, VDSL, and DSL connections, ensuring compatibility with various broadband technologies.
Troubleshooting
No internet connection or intermittent drops
Ensure both RJ11 connectors are securely plugged into the modem/router and the ADSL filter/wall socket. Check that the ADSL filter is correctly installed and functioning. Try connecting the cable directly to the wall socket (if possible) to rule out filter issues. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.
Slow internet speeds
Verify the cable is fully seated. Ensure the cable is not excessively long for the required run, as extreme lengths can slightly impact performance. Check that the cable is not routed near sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power cables, fluorescent lights). Confirm your internet service plan speed with your provider.
Cable does not fit the port
Confirm you are using the correct port. This cable uses an RJ11 connector (typically 6 positions, 4 conductors) and is designed for DSL/modem ports, not Ethernet (RJ45) ports.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Facilitates a stable and reliable broadband connection.
- The flat design allows for discreet installation and cable management.
- Full copper construction ensures optimal data transfer speeds.
- Gold-plated connectors provide superior signal integrity.
- Wide compatibility with common DSL networking equipment.
Cons
- Not suitable for Ethernet networking speeds; exclusively for DSL/ADSL/VDSL.
- The 30m length may be excessive for very short runs, potentially leading to slight signal degradation over extreme distances if not managed.
- Requires an ADSL filter for proper function with many broadband setups.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply connect one RJ11 male connector to your ADSL filter or wall socket and the other RJ11 male connector to the corresponding port on your ADSL/VDSL modem or router. Ensure connections are firm.
Compatibility: This cable is designed for ADSL, VDSL, and DSL connections. It is compatible with most standard broadband routers, modems, and ADSL filters that use an RJ11 (6P4C) phone line connector. It is not compatible with Ethernet (RJ45) connections.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid kinking or sharply bending the flat cable. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
