Product Information

Full details

This kenable ADSL Modem Cable is designed for users needing to connect their modem or router to an ADSL line. Its key benefit is providing a stable, high-speed connection with a flat, easy-to-manage design. A potential consideration is that it's specifically for ADSL/VDSL lines and might not be suitable for other network types. This cable features RJ11 connectors on both ends, all 4 wires connected, a 5-meter length, and a low-profile flat design.

FAQs

What type of internet connection is this cable for?

This cable is specifically designed for ADSL, VDSL, and DSL broadband internet connections. It connects your modem or router to your phone line via an ADSL filter.

What are RJ11 connectors?

RJ11 connectors are standard telephone connectors, smaller than Ethernet RJ45 connectors. They are commonly used for DSL internet and traditional phone lines. This cable has RJ11 male connectors on both ends.

Can I use this cable for my Virgin Media or Cable internet service?

No, this cable is for ADSL/VDSL connections only. Cable internet services typically use different types of coaxial or Ethernet connections and cables.

Why is the cable flat?

The flat design (2mm height) makes the cable easier to hide under carpets, along skirting boards, or behind furniture, providing a neater installation compared to round cables.

Does the cable length affect internet speed?

While extremely long or poor-quality cables can degrade signal, the 5-meter length of this high-quality, full copper cable is well within optimal limits for ADSL/VDSL and should not negatively impact your internet speed. Ensure good connections at both ends.

How many wires are connected inside the cable?

This cable has all 4 wires connected internally, which is necessary for optimal ADSL/VDSL signal transmission.

What is the difference between this and a standard phone cord?

While both use RJ11 connectors, this cable is specifically constructed with materials and wiring (4 wires connected) to handle the higher frequencies and data rates of broadband internet, unlike a basic voice-only phone cord which might only use 2 wires.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection after connecting the cable.

Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the modem/router and the ADSL filter/socket. Verify that all 4 wires are properly seated in the RJ11 connectors. Check that your ADSL filter is correctly installed and functioning. Try a different ADSL filter or phone socket if possible.

Slow or intermittent internet speeds.

Check the cable for any visible damage, kinks, or cuts. Ensure the connectors are clean and making good contact. Try shortening the cable run if possible (though this cable is 5m, ensure it's not excessively coiled or stressed). Test with a known good ADSL filter. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power cables, which can cause interference.

Cable does not fit into the port.

Confirm that you are attempting to connect to an RJ11 port. This cable uses RJ11 connectors, which are smaller than RJ45 Ethernet connectors. Do not force the connection if it does not fit easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a stable connection for ADSL/VDSL broadband.
  • The flat, low-profile design is excellent for discreet cable management.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure good signal integrity.
  • 5-meter length offers flexibility in device placement.
  • Available in multiple colors for aesthetic integration.

Cons

  • Only suitable for ADSL/VDSL connections, not for Ethernet or other network types.
  • RJ11 connectors are smaller than standard RJ45 Ethernet connectors.
  • The flat cable might be less durable if repeatedly bent at sharp angles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the RJ11 port on your ADSL modem/router and the RJ11 port on your ADSL filter or wall socket.
  2. Plug one end of the kenable ADSL Modem Cable into the modem/router.
  3. Plug the other end into the ADSL filter or directly into the phone line socket.
  4. Ensure both connections are secure.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for ADSL, VDSL, and DSL connections.
  • It uses standard RJ11 (6P4C) male connectors, which are common on DSL modems, routers, and telephone adapters.
  • Not compatible with RJ45 Ethernet connectors or network ports.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the flat cable, as this can damage the internal wires.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Store the cable away from excessive heat or moisture.
