Product Information

Full details

This Kenable ADSL broadband modem cable is designed for users needing a reliable connection between their phone line (via an ADSL filter) and their broadband router or modem. Its primary benefit is the low-profile, flat design that allows for discreet cable management, fitting easily under carpets or along skirting boards. A potential caveat is that it's specifically for ADSL/VDSL connections and not Ethernet networking. Key features include gold-plated RJ11 connectors, a full copper core for high-speed data transfer, and a durable, flat white finish.

FAQs

What is this cable used for?

This cable is specifically designed to connect your ADSL or VDSL broadband modem/router to your phone line, usually via an ADSL filter, to establish your internet connection.

Can I use this cable for my Ethernet network?

No, this is an RJ11 cable for telephone line connections to your modem/router. It is not an Ethernet cable (which uses RJ45 connectors) and cannot be used for computer networking.

How long is the cable?

This particular model is 5 meters long, as indicated in the product title.

What does 'flat cable' mean for its use?

The flat design (2mm height) makes it easier to hide the cable under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture without creating a trip hazard or noticeable bulk.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the RJ11 male connectors are gold-plated to ensure a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection.

What is the internal construction of the cable?

It features a full copper core made of 5x0.1mm bare copper strands (32AWG) for efficient signal transmission.

Does it connect directly to the wall socket or needs a filter?

It connects from your phone line (which may have an ADSL filter plugged into it) to your modem/router. If your setup requires an ADSL filter, this cable connects to that filter.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection after plugging in.

Verify both ends of the cable are securely connected. Ensure the ADSL filter is correctly installed and functional. Try connecting the cable directly to the master phone socket to rule out filter issues. Check router/modem status lights for DSL sync.

Slow internet speeds.

Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. Check that the RJ11 connectors are clean and fully seated. Test with a different, shorter cable if possible to rule out cable length as a factor. Contact your ISP to check line quality.

Intermittent connection drops.

Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is not running near sources of electrical interference. Try a different phone socket or ADSL filter.

Cable is too stiff or difficult to lay flat.

Gently allow the cable to warm up to room temperature before attempting to lay it flat. Avoid forcing it into tight bends, which could damage the internal conductors.
