FAQs
What is an RJ11 connector?
RJ11 is a standard telephone connector that typically has 4 or 6 positions, but usually uses 2 or 4 conductors. This cable uses the 4-pin configuration commonly found on modems and routers for broadband connections.
Do I need an ADSL filter with this cable?
Yes, this cable connects your modem/router to the phone line via an ADSL filter. The filter separates the broadband signal from voice signals, which is essential for ADSL connections.
Can I use this cable for a voice telephone?
While it has RJ11 connectors, this cable is specifically designed for data transmission (modems/routers) and is wired accordingly. It is not intended for standard voice telephone use, which typically requires fewer wires.
What does 'flat cable' mean for installation?
A flat cable is thinner and more flexible than standard round cables, making it easier to hide under carpets, along baseboards, or behind furniture without creating a tripping hazard or being unsightly.
What is the '32AWG' specification?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire. 32AWG signifies a relatively thin but sufficient gauge for ADSL signals, contributing to the cable's flexibility and low profile.
How do I choose between black and white?
The choice between black and white is purely aesthetic. Select the color that best matches your decor or existing cables for a more seamless look.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Specific warranty information should be obtained from the retailer. Typically, cables like this come with a standard manufacturer's warranty against defects.
Troubleshooting
No internet connection or intermittent drops
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify that the ADSL filter is correctly installed and functioning. Try swapping the cable with a known working one, or test the existing cable on a different device if possible. Check that your modem/router is powered on and synced.
Slow internet speeds
The cable's pure copper construction generally ensures good speeds. However, slow speeds can also be caused by your ISP, router issues, or line quality. Ensure the cable is not damaged and connections are clean. If problems persist, contact your ISP.
Cable not fitting into port
Confirm that the port is indeed an RJ11 (4-pin) connector. While standard, some devices might use different port types. Ensure no debris is obstructing the port or the cable's connector.
