Product Information
Full details
The Dencon Telephone Extension Lead is ideal for homeowners and office professionals needing to relocate their telephone or internet equipment without being tethered to a wall socket. It provides a significant 10-metre reach for flexible office or home layouts, though it is specifically designed for standard BT-style socket connections and may require adapters for different regional standards.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this cable support fibre-optic connections?
This cable is designed for the copper-based telephone line side of your connection (the BT socket). It supports standard DSL/Broadband signals delivered through BT wall plates.
Can I connect two of these together for more length?
It is generally not recommended to daisy-chain extension cables as this can lead to signal attenuation and slower internet speeds.
Is this lead shielded?
The lead is designed for standard domestic telecommunications. Keep it away from heavy power cables to avoid interference.
Does this require any special tools to install?
No, it is a simple plug-and-play connection that uses existing BT-style wall sockets.
Can I use this for non-BT style sockets?
No, this lead is specifically designed for the standard BT telephone socket interface common in the UK.
Troubleshooting
No dial tone after installation
Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the BT wall socket and verify that the telephone device is functional when plugged directly into the wall.
Intermittent internet connection
Check that the connection is secure at both ends and ensure the extension cable is not routed near high-voltage power cables which may cause electromagnetic interference.
Physical damage to cable casing
If the protective insulation is compromised, discontinue use immediately to prevent signal shorting or hardware damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the lead, simply insert the male BT plug into your wall-mounted telephone socket until it clicks securely into place. Connect your device into the female socket on the extension lead. Compatibility is limited to devices using standard BT telephone connectors. To care for the product, avoid pulling the cable taut or bending the connectors at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can damage the internal wiring. If the lead is running across a walking area, secure it with floor cable clips to prevent tripping and potential damage to the plug interface.
