Product Information

Full details

Offering a generous 10-meter reach, it ensures a reliable connection for telephones and fax machines without significant signal degradation; however, users should be mindful that running long, unshielded cables through high-interference areas may occasionally impact line clarity.

FAQs

Can I use this for my broadband internet?

This cable is designed specifically for voice and fax signals and may not provide the necessary signal integrity for high-speed ADSL broadband.

Is this a standard BT plug?

Yes, it uses the standard BT431A specification, which is the industry standard for UK telephone wall connections.

Does this cable require any special tools to set up?

No, it is a fully modular plug-and-play cable that connects directly into your existing hardware.

Can I daisy-chain two of these cables together?

While it is physically possible, it is not recommended as each additional connection point can weaken the signal and increase noise.

Is the cable shielded?

It features a standard durable jacket, but it is not specifically shielded against high levels of electromagnetic interference.

Troubleshooting

Dial tone is absent or intermittent

Ensure both ends are firmly clicked into the sockets. Inspect the cable for physical damage or sharp kinks.

Static or noise heard during calls

Check if the cable is routed too close to power cords or fluorescent lights, which can cause electromagnetic interference.

Fax machine fails to receive/send documents

Test the device directly at the wall socket first to rule out the extension cable as the source of the connection failure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 10-metre reach for flexible office layouts
  • Simple plug-and-play installation
  • Compatible with standard UK telephone wall sockets
  • Durable construction protects against kinking and wear

Cons

  • Excess cable length requires management to prevent tripping hazards
  • Not intended for high-speed ADSL broadband internet extension
  • Lacks extra shielding against electromagnetic interference

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply insert the male BT plug into your existing wall socket and connect your device into the female socket on the other end of the extension. Ensure the locking tabs click into place to maintain a secure connection.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid stretching the cable tightly across doorways or high-traffic walking paths.
  • Keep away from extreme heat sources to prevent the jacket from becoming brittle.
  • If the cable requires cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth; never use liquid cleaners on the connectors as this may cause corrosion.
