Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing to connect ADSL modems or routers to filtered faceplates or route phone lines via dedicated LAN cables. Its key benefit is providing a reliable wired connection over a 15-meter length. A potential caveat is its specific RJ11 to RJ45 wiring, which may not suit all networking needs. The cable features a flat, white design with male RJ11 and RJ45 connectors, wired straight through for ADSL connectivity.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this RJ11 to RJ45 cable?

This cable is designed specifically for connecting ADSL modems or routers to ADSL filtered faceplates, or for routing phone lines through dedicated LAN cables for ADSL services. It is wired straight-through for this purpose.

Can I use this cable for standard Ethernet networking (e.g., connecting a PC to a router)?

No, this cable is not suitable for standard Ethernet networking. While it has an RJ45 connector, its internal wiring is intended for ADSL telephone line connections and is not compatible with typical Ethernet configurations.

What does 'wired straight through' mean for this cable?

'Wired straight through' means the pinout on the RJ11 connector directly corresponds to the pinout on the RJ45 connector in a linear fashion, which is the standard for ADSL connections to filtered faceplates.

Is the RJ11 connector the same as an Ethernet connector?

No, an RJ11 connector is typically used for telephone lines and ADSL connections and has fewer conductors (usually 4 or 6 pins) than an RJ45 connector (which has 8 pins and is used for Ethernet).

What is the length of this cable?

The cable length is 15 meters.

What color is the cable?

The cable is white.

How should I care for this flat cable?

Avoid sharp bends or kinks, keep connectors clean, and protect the cable from moisture and physical damage to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

No ADSL connection or intermittent internet

Ensure the RJ11 connector is fully seated in the modem/router and the RJ45 connector is properly plugged into the faceplate/port. Verify that the faceplate is correctly filtered for ADSL. Try a shorter, known-good cable to rule out a cable fault. Check that the wiring is indeed straight-through for ADSL.

Slow internet speeds

Confirm the cable is not damaged or kinked. Ensure the cable is connected directly to the filtered faceplate and not through unnecessary adapters or splitters. Check your ISP's service status and modem diagnostics.

RJ45 connector does not fit standard network switch/router

This cable uses an RJ45 connector but is wired specifically for ADSL telephone line connections, not for standard Ethernet networking. It is incompatible with standard Ethernet ports on routers or switches.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a 15-meter connection length.
  • Flat cable design is discreet and easy to manage.
  • Specifically engineered for ADSL modem/router connectivity.
  • Durable construction for reliable signal transmission.
  • Neutral white color fits most decors.

Cons

  • Not suitable for standard Ethernet networking (RJ45 to RJ45).
  • Limited to ADSL and specific phone line routing applications.
  • RJ11 connector is smaller than RJ45 and not interchangeable for standard data networks.
  • Flat cable may be less durable than round cables in high-traffic areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify your ADSL modem/router's RJ11 port and your ADSL filtered faceplate's RJ11 port or the relevant RJ45 port if routing through LAN cabling.
  2. Ensure the RJ11 connector is inserted firmly into the modem/router.
  3. Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your faceplate or network termination point.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Use: Connecting ADSL modems or routers to ADSL filtered faceplates.
  • Secondary Use: Routing phone lines through dedicated LAN cables for ADSL services.
  • Important Note: This cable is NOT a standard Ethernet cable. The RJ11 connector is typically used for telephone lines and ADSL, while the RJ45 connector, though physically similar, is wired specifically for this ADSL application and will not function for standard gigabit or fast Ethernet networking.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable, as this can damage the internal wires.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
  • Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and physical abrasion.
