FAQs
What is an ADSL cable used for?

How do I hide this flat cable?
The cable's low-profile, flat design (2mm high) makes it easy to hide under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture.
What is the cable length?
This specific product is 1 meter in length.
What is the cable made of?

Troubleshooting
No internet connection after setup.
Verify that the cable is securely plugged into both the modem/router and the ADSL filter. Ensure the ADSL filter is correctly connected to the phone line. Check if your broadband service is active and that the modem/router is powered on and synced (check status lights).
Intermittent internet connection or slow speeds.
Inspect the cable for any visible damage, kinks, or worn connectors. Try a different, known-good ADSL filter. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of electrical interference. If problems persist, consider testing with a different cable or contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Cable does not fit into the port.
Confirm you are using the correct port (RJ11, typically labeled 'DSL' or 'Internet') on your modem/router and filter. The RJ11 connector should fit snugly without excessive force. If it seems too loose or too tight, double-check compatibility.
