Product Information

Full details

This kenable telephone cable is designed for users needing a specific 6-wire connection for their telephone devices, offering a reliable 5-meter length with gold contacts for improved signal integrity. It is ideal for offices or household devices requiring 6-pin connections, bridging the gap where standard 4-wire connections are insufficient. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, which might not be compatible with all standard telephone setups.

FAQs

What does '6 Wire 6P6C' mean?

6P6C refers to a connector type that has 6 positions and 6 electrical contacts. In telephone terminology, it signifies a connector capable of carrying more signals than a standard 4-wire connection, often used in office or advanced home phone systems.

Can I use this cable with a standard UK phone line?

This cable is designed for the *connection between devices* that require a 6-wire plug, not necessarily the connection to the wall socket itself, which is typically a master socket with specific wiring. However, if your device requires a 6-wire plug and your wall socket is compatible with that plug type (after the master socket connection), then yes.

Is this cable compatible with RJ11 connectors?

No, this cable uses 6P6C connectors, which are physically larger than RJ11 (4P4C) connectors. While some devices might have internal wiring that uses 6 pins, the plug shape is different. This cable is for devices specifically designed for the 6P6C plug.

What is the benefit of gold contacts?

Gold contacts offer superior electrical conductivity and are highly resistant to corrosion. This leads to a more stable connection, reduced signal loss, and a longer lifespan for the cable compared to connectors made from less resistant materials.

How do I clean the cable connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the gold contacts. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol, ensuring it evaporates completely before reconnecting the cable.

What does 'straight wired' mean?

'Straight wired' means that the pins on one end of the cable correspond directly to the pins on the other end (e.g., pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.). This is standard for most telephone connections and ensures compatibility with common BT devices.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone or connection

Ensure both 6P6C plugs are fully inserted into their respective ports. Verify that the connected device and socket both support a 6-wire connection. Test with another known working cable if possible.

Intermittent connection or static

Check the connectors for dust or damage. Gently clean the gold contacts with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent or kinked, which could damage internal wires.

Cable does not fit the socket

Confirm that the socket or device is designed for a 6P6C (6-wire) connector. This cable will not fit standard 4-wire RJ11 sockets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a necessary 6-wire connection for specialized telephone equipment.
  • Gold contacts offer superior signal quality and longevity.
  • The 5-meter length offers good flexibility in placement.
  • Flat cable design is discreet and easy to manage.
  • Compatible with a wide range of standard BT devices requiring 6-pin plugs.

Cons

  • Not compatible with standard 4-wire telephone connections.
  • May be overkill for simple, single-line telephone needs.
  • The white color might not blend with all office or home decor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the kenable telephone cable, simply plug one 6P6C male connector into the telephone device requiring a 6-wire connection and the other 6P6C male connector into the corresponding telephone socket or base unit. Ensure both connections are firm.

Compatibility: This cable is specifically designed for devices requiring a 6-wire (6P6C) connection. It is compatible with most standard BT telephone systems and devices that use this pinout, including many office phones and some household appliances. It is *not* compatible with standard 4-wire telephone sockets or devices that only accept RJ11 (4P4C) connectors unless an adapter is used (adapters are not included).

Care: To maintain the cable's performance and longevity:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Do not expose the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • If cleaning is needed, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
