Product Information

Full details

This kenable 10m white ADSL 2+ High Speed Broadband Modem Cable is designed for users with fast broadband connections (2Mb/s or higher) and ADSL2+ who want to maximize their internet speed and reduce transmission errors. It connects your modem/router to your telephone wall socket, offering up to 10 times faster transmission than standard phone cables. A potential caveat is that its benefits are most pronounced with faster broadband speeds; users on very slow connections may not see a significant difference.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of using this high-speed modem cable over a standard phone cable?

This cable is designed to transmit data up to 10 times faster than a standard phone cable, reducing transmission errors and ensuring you achieve the maximum possible speeds from your ADSL or ADSL2+ broadband connection.

Is this cable compatible with my non-ADSL2+ broadband connection?

Yes, the cable is compatible with all modem speeds and supports both analog and digital (DSL/ISDN) applications. While optimized for ADSL2+, it will still provide a clean transmission for slower broadband speeds.

What does 'snagless molded strain relief' mean?

This refers to the reinforced connector housing that protects the cable end, preventing it from snagging on surfaces and providing flexibility and strength to reduce stress on the connection point, thus increasing durability.

Can I use this cable for my home phone as well as my modem?

While the cable uses standard RJ11 connectors, it's specifically designed for high-speed data transmission for modems. For voice calls, a standard telephone cable is usually sufficient. If you use a combined DSL filter/splitter, this cable connects between the splitter and your modem.

What is the AWG wire size of this cable?

The AWG (American Wire Gauge) size for this cable is 26.

How do I connect this cable?

Simply plug one RJ11 connector into your modem/router and the other into your telephone wall socket. Ensure connections are firm.

Is the cable shielded?

The product description indicates it is a Category 5 structured cable, which is designed for high-speed data transmission. Specific shielding details are not provided, but Category 5 is suitable for speeds up to 100 Mb/s.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection or intermittent connection

Ensure both RJ11 connectors are securely plugged into the modem/router and the wall socket. Try connecting the cable directly to the master telephone socket, bypassing any extension leads or splitters. Test with a different cable if possible to rule out a faulty unit.

Slow internet speeds, especially on ADSL2+

Verify that your internet service provider plan supports speeds higher than 2Mb/s. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is properly seated. Check modem/router settings to confirm it is configured for ADSL2+ if applicable. Obstructions or poor line quality from the provider can also affect speed.

Cable appears damaged

Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or bent pins on the RJ11 connectors. If damage is found, replace the cable immediately.
