Product Information

Full details

This 20m white Kenable ADSL Broadband Modem Cable is designed for users needing a reliable connection between their phone line filter and their broadband router or modem. Its primary benefit is providing a stable, high-speed internet signal with a discreet, low-profile design that can be easily hidden. A potential caveat is that it specifically uses RJ11 connectors, so ensure compatibility with your existing equipment. Key features include a flat cable design for easy concealment, gold-plated RJ11 connectors for optimal signal transfer, and a full copper core for high-speed data transmission.

FAQs

What is an RJ11 connector?

An RJ11 connector is a standard telephone connector, commonly used for DSL and ADSL internet connections. It has 4 pins (6P4C) and is smaller than an Ethernet connector (RJ45).

Do I need an ADSL filter with this cable?

Yes, this cable connects from your ADSL filter to your modem/router. The ADSL filter splits the phone line signal, allowing both phone calls and internet data to be used simultaneously without interference.

Can I use this cable for my Virgin Media or Sky Q internet?

This cable is specifically for ADSL/VDSL broadband services that connect via a standard phone line and an RJ11 socket. It is not compatible with cable internet services (like Virgin Media) or fiber optic connections that use an Ethernet WAN port.

What does 'Full Copper Cable' mean?

It means the internal wires carrying the signal are made of pure copper, which is an excellent conductor and is essential for high-speed data transmission, unlike cheaper cables that may use copper-clad aluminum (CCA).

How do I hide the flat cable?

The flat profile (2mm height) allows it to be easily concealed under carpets, along the edge of skirting boards, or behind furniture without creating a noticeable lump or trip hazard.

Is the 20m length suitable for all home setups?

The 20m length provides considerable reach, ideal for larger homes or when the phone socket is far from your desired router location. Measure the distance required before purchasing to ensure it's sufficient.

What is the difference between RJ11 and RJ45?

RJ11 connectors are typically used for telephone lines and DSL internet (4 pins), while RJ45 connectors are used for Ethernet networking (8 pins). They are not interchangeable.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection after setup

Verify that the cable is securely plugged into both the ADSL filter/phone socket and the router/modem. Ensure the ADSL filter is correctly installed and functioning. Try a different cable if possible to rule out a faulty cable.

Slow or intermittent internet speeds

Check for any damage to the cable, particularly near the connectors or where it might be under stress. Ensure the RJ11 connectors are clean. Interference from other electrical devices can also cause issues; try repositioning the router or cable.

Router not detecting phone line signal

Confirm that you are using the correct port on the router (usually labeled 'DSL', 'WAN', or 'Internet' and accepts an RJ11 plug). Ensure the cable is connected to the correct output on the ADSL filter (often labeled 'Modem' or 'Router').

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flat design makes it easy to hide and manage cables.
  • Full copper core and gold-plated connectors support high-speed internet.
  • 20m length offers flexibility in router placement.
  • Provides a stable connection essential for consistent broadband performance.

Cons

  • Requires an ADSL filter connection point (not included).
  • RJ11 connectors are specific and not interchangeable with standard RJ45 Ethernet plugs.
  • Flat cable may be less durable than round cables in high-traffic areas if not protected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your broadband service is active and you have an ADSL filter (if required by your provider).
  2. Connect one end of the RJ11 cable to the ADSL filter's modem/router port.
  3. Connect the other RJ11 end to the corresponding port on your ADSL modem, VDSL modem, or broadband router.
  4. Connect the other cable from your phone wall socket to the phone port on the ADSL filter.

Compatibility:

  • Connectors: RJ11 (6P4C - 4 pin) male to RJ11 (6P4C - 4 pin) male.
  • Devices: Compatible with most ADSL, VDSL, DSL, and broadband modems, routers, and hubs that utilize an RJ11 phone line input.
  • Service: Suitable for ADSL and VDSL broadband connections originating from a standard phone line.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable, as this can damage the internal copper strands.
  • Clean the cable periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure connectors are free from dust and debris to maintain optimal contact.
