Full details

This Kenable 008158 flat four-core cable is designed for users needing to connect ADSL modems or routers to filtered faceplates or route phone lines through dedicated LAN cabling. Its key benefit is providing a straight-through wired connection for reliable broadband and phone service. A potential consideration is its specific RJ11 to RJ45 wiring, which may not be suitable for all network configurations.

FAQs

What is the primary use of this cable?

This cable is designed to connect ADSL modems or routers to ADSL filtered faceplates, or to send phone lines through dedicated LAN-style cabling, ensuring a straight-through wired connection.

Can I use this cable for a standard Ethernet network?

No, this cable is specifically wired for ADSL telephone line connections (RJ11 to RJ45) and is not compatible with standard Ethernet networking (which typically requires RJ45 to RJ45).

What does 'wired straight through' mean?

It means the conductors inside the cable are connected in the same order from one end to the other. For this RJ11 to RJ45 cable, it implies a direct pass-through of the telephone signal pairs.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length is 3 meters.

What type of connectors does this cable have?

This cable has an RJ11 male connector on one end and an RJ45 male connector on the other end.

Is the cable flat or round?

The cable is flat, which makes it easier to route in tight spaces or under carpets.

What color is the cable?

The cable is black.

Troubleshooting

No broadband connection after installation

Verify that the RJ11 plug is securely in the modem/router and the RJ45 plug is securely in the filtered faceplate. Double-check that the faceplate is correctly filtered for ADSL and that the cable is wired straight through (as this model is).

Intermittent connection or slow speeds

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, kinks, or stressed areas. Ensure the connectors are clean and fully inserted. Try a different filtered faceplate or connection point if possible to rule out a fault with the socket.

The cable does not fit into an Ethernet port

This cable uses an RJ11 to RJ45 configuration specifically for ADSL/telephone lines and is not designed for standard Ethernet network connections, which typically use an RJ45 to RJ45 configuration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for ADSL broadband connections.
  • Flat cable is easy to conceal and route.
  • Standard 3m length is suitable for most home setups.
  • Robust construction for reliable connectivity.

Cons

  • RJ11 to RJ45 specific wiring is not universal.
  • Not suitable for standard Ethernet networking.
  • Limited to four-core functionality, not for high-speed Ethernet.
  • Flat design may be less durable in high-traffic areas than round cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the RJ11 port on your ADSL modem or router and the RJ45 port on your filtered faceplate or telephone connection point.
  2. Ensure both ports are clean and free from debris.
  3. Insert the RJ11 male plug firmly into the modem/router's RJ11 port.
  4. Insert the RJ45 male plug firmly into the filtered faceplate's RJ45 port.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for ADSL broadband and telephone line connections.
  • It is not compatible with standard Ethernet networking (which typically uses RJ45 to RJ45 connectors).
  • Ensure your modem/router has an RJ11 port and your faceplate or connection point has an RJ45 port designed for telephone line passthrough.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable, as this can damage the internal wires.
  • Keep the connectors clean; use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them if necessary.
  • Protect the cable from excessive moisture, heat, or physical stress.
