FAQs
What is an RJ11 connector?
An RJ11 connector is a standard telephone-style connector with 4 pins, commonly used for telephone lines, DSL modems, and routers.
Can this cable be used for a standard computer network (Ethernet)?
No, this cable uses RJ11 connectors and is designed for ADSL/DSL broadband connections only. It is not compatible with Ethernet networks, which require RJ45 connectors.
What is the benefit of the flat cable design?
The flat design (2mm height) makes the cable very easy to hide under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture, contributing to a tidier and more organized setup.
How do I know if I need this cable?
You need this cable if you have a DSL or ADSL internet connection and need to connect your modem or router to the phone line socket via an ADSL filter.
What does 'Full Copper Cable' mean?
It means the internal wires are made of copper, which is essential for reliable and high-speed data transmission, unlike cheaper cables that may use copper-clad aluminum.
Does the cable come with an ADSL filter?
No, this product is the ADSL cable itself. It connects to an ADSL filter, which is typically supplied by your internet service provider or purchased separately.
What is the cable's maximum data transfer speed capability?
While the cable construction supports high speeds, the actual speed is determined by your internet service plan and provider's network capabilities.
Troubleshooting
No internet connection after setup
Verify both RJ11 connections are secure in the ADSL filter and the modem/router. Ensure the ADSL filter is correctly installed. Try a different phone socket if possible. Check your Internet Service Provider (ISP) status.
Intermittent connection or slow speeds
Check for any damage to the cable, particularly near the connectors. Ensure the connectors are clean. Test the connection with a shorter, known-good cable if available to rule out the cable as the fault. Contact your ISP to check line quality.
Cable does not fit into port
Confirm you are trying to connect to an RJ11 port (typically found on modems, routers, and phone line faceplates). This cable will not fit into an RJ45 Ethernet port.
