FAQs

What is the main advantage of this cable over a standard phone cable?

This cable is designed with Category 5 structured cabling and thicker gauge wire (26 AWG) to support higher data transmission rates (up to 100Mbps) and reduce signal interference, making it significantly faster and more reliable for high-speed ADSL/ADSL2+ internet connections compared to basic telephone cords.

Will this cable improve my internet speed if I have a slow broadband plan?

The primary benefit is realized with faster broadband plans (2Mbps and above), especially ADSL2+. While it may offer marginal improvements for very slow connections by reducing errors, significant speed increases are most likely if your plan and ISP infrastructure support higher speeds.

What does ADSL2+ mean?

ADSL2+ (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 Plus) is an iteration of ADSL technology that offers significantly higher download speeds compared to earlier ADSL versions, often reaching up to 24Mbps downstream.

Can I use this cable for my fibre optic internet?

No, this cable is specifically designed for ADSL and DSL internet connections that utilize the telephone line infrastructure. It will not work for fibre optic or cable internet services which use different types of cabling and connectors.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 15 meters.

What type of connectors does it have?

It has two male RJ-11 connectors, which are standard for modem and telephone connections.

Is the cable shielded?

While not explicitly stated as shielded, its Category 5 structured cabling design inherently offers better performance and resistance to interference than unshielded basic telephone cables, especially important for high-speed data transmission.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection after installation.

Ensure both RJ-11 connectors are securely plugged into the modem/router and the wall socket. Verify your ADSL service is active and functioning. Try connecting the cable directly to the master telephone socket if you have extensions.

Slow internet speeds or frequent disconnections.

Check if your internet plan actually supports speeds that would benefit from this cable (2Mbps+). Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. Test with a shorter, known-good cable if possible to rule out cable issues. Contact your ISP to confirm line quality.

Cable feels stiff or difficult to connect.

Ensure you are using the correct port. The cable should connect smoothly; do not force it. Check the connectors for any obstructions. The strain relief is designed for durability, not extreme flexibility right at the connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster than standard phone cables for ADSL connections.
  • Supports high-speed broadband and ADSL2+ for optimal performance.

  • Modem Speeds: Works with all modem speeds.
  • System: Designed for use with standard telephone wall sockets and ADSL modems/routers.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Keep the cable away from sources of extreme heat or moisture.
  • Periodically check connectors for dust or debris and clean gently with a dry cloth if necessary.
  • The snagless design protects the connectors during plugging and unplugging.
