FAQs

What is the primary use for this cable?

This cable is primarily used to connect ADSL modems or routers to ADSL filtered faceplates, or to send phone line signals through dedicated LAN cabling.

Can I use this cable to connect my computer to the internet?

No, this cable is not an Ethernet cable. It uses an RJ11 to RJ45 configuration specifically for ADSL broadband and telephone line passthrough, not standard computer networking.

Will this cable work with a standard home phone?

No, this cable is not designed for connecting standard telephone handsets. It features an RJ11 to RJ45 straight-through wiring for ADSL equipment.

What does 'wired straight through' mean?

It means the wires in the cable are connected in the same order from one end to the other. This is crucial for ADSL signals and distinguishing it from crossover cables used in networking.

What is an ADSL filtered faceplate?

An ADSL filtered faceplate is a type of telephone socket that filters out the high-frequency signals used by broadband internet, preventing interference with voice calls.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 1 meter in length.

What colors are the connectors?

The connectors themselves are typically clear plastic, but the cable is black.

Troubleshooting

No broadband connection

Verify both RJ11 and RJ45 connectors are securely plugged in. Ensure the RJ11 end is connected to a filtered ADSL faceplate. Test with a different known working cable if possible. Check that your ISP service is active.

Intermittent connection or slow speeds

Check for damage to the cable, especially near the connectors. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of electrical interference. Confirm that the faceplate is correctly filtered for ADSL.

Cable does not fit port

Double-check that you are using the correct ports. The RJ11 is a smaller, typically 4-pin connector, while RJ45 is larger with 8 pins. This cable is *not* for standard phone handset lines or computer Ethernet networking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for ADSL modem/router connections.
  • Flat cable is unobtrusive and easy to manage.
  • Reliable straight-through wiring for optimal signal.
  • Standard 1-meter length suits most common uses.

Cons

  • RJ11 to RJ45 configuration is not for standard phone handset connections.
  • May not be compatible with older or non-ADSL telephone equipment.
  • Requires compatible RJ11 (filtered faceplate) and RJ45 (router/network) ports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the RJ11 connector into your ADSL filtered faceplate or the designated port on your modem/router, and the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your broadband equipment or network infrastructure.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for ADSL broadband connections. Ensure your modem/router has an RJ45 port and your connection point (e.g., faceplate) uses an RJ11 socket configured for ADSL/phone line passthrough. It is *not* suitable for standard telephone handsets or Ethernet networking.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth if cleaning is necessary; avoid harsh chemicals.
