FAQs
What is the primary function of this cable?
This cable connects your ADSL filter (which plugs into your phone line) to your broadband modem or router, enabling your internet connection.
What does 'ADSL' and 'RJ11' mean?
ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a type of broadband internet. RJ11 is the standard connector type used for telephone lines and ADSL connections, typically a 4-pin connector.
Can I use this cable for my Virgin Media or Sky Q Hub?
This cable is specifically for ADSL/VDSL telephone line connections. For cable broadband services (like Virgin Media) or some newer fiber setups, you would typically need an Ethernet cable (RJ45).
Why is the cable flat?
The flat design (2mm height) is intended for easy and discreet cable management, allowing it to be run under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture without being obtrusive.
Does this cable come with an ADSL filter?
No, this is a modem cable only. You will need a separate ADSL filter to connect this cable to your phone line socket.
What is the difference between ADSL and VDSL?
Both are types of DSL broadband technology. VDSL (Very High-speed Digital Subscriber Line) is a newer, faster version that uses the same type of cabling and connectors as ADSL.
How do I clean the cable?
You can wipe the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure connectors are clean and dry before plugging them in.
Troubleshooting
No internet connection after setup
Verify that the ADSL filter is properly installed and that both RJ11 connectors are securely plugged into the filter and the modem/router. Ensure all 4 wires are correctly seated in the RJ11 plugs. Check that the modem/router is powered on and synchronized.
Slow or intermittent internet speeds
Ensure the cable is not damaged, kinked, or frayed. Check that the connectors are clean and making good contact. Try a different RJ11 port on the modem/router if available. Ensure the ADSL filter is functioning correctly.
Cable feels loose or connection drops frequently
Gently push both RJ11 connectors firmly into their respective ports to ensure a secure fit. Inspect the connectors for any visible damage or debris. If the issue persists, the cable may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your ADSL filter is correctly installed into the phone socket.
Connect one end of the RJ11 male connector to the 'Modem' or 'DSL' port on your ADSL filter.
Connect the other RJ11 male connector to the corresponding port on your broadband modem or router.
Power on your modem/router and wait for the connection to establish.
Compatibility:
This cable is compatible with all standard ADSL and VDSL telephone lines that utilize an RJ11 connection.
It is designed to connect from an ADSL filter to devices such as broadband modems, routers, and ADSL hubs.
Ensure your modem/router and ADSL filter have standard RJ11 ports (typically 6-pin sockets where 4 pins are used).
Care:
Avoid kinking or sharply bending the flat cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty to maintain optimal contact.
Protect the cable from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
