3. 1STec

1STec 15M ADSL2+ Super High Speed Cat5e RJ11 Broadband Hub Internet Extension Cable for BT Infinity Sky Q Talktalk Plusnet EE Vodafone Post Office Router on Fibre or Standard Services 15 Metre White

1STec - No rj45 to rj11 cable necessary: please note that your bt openreach master with vdsl interstitial faceplate was designed to accept both the bigger RJ45 as well as these smaller RJ11 plugs in the same DATA socket. Move your wifi router: connects your adsl 2+ modem to a microfilter. The wall socket may appear to be too big at first but this cable will definitely click into position once offered up correctly.

Many customers are aware of this but most will use the wrong type of replacement cable resulting in cancelling most of the performance benefits that they could have achieved. Higher quality round twisted pair cat5e cable with Gold Plated pins gives improved connection speeds when compared to the standard, flat, non twisted pair phone cables usually supplied with many routers. Good positioning is key: most suppliers are only interested in their service being in your property even if it has to be at your front door wasting half of its useful coverage.

Moving your bt home hub 4 5 or 6 for example, to a more central location in your home will boost the Wi-Fi strength to more locations. However, quickly outweighs the minimal losses of a good quality cable, relocating your Smart Hub for a stronger broadcast where the unit will actually be used, resulting in much better overall wireless performance. No cable can increase your speed unless it is replacing an inferior one of similar length. Can be used with a plug in filter or directly into an openreach mk2, mk3 MK4 RJ11/RJ45 combination type Phone & DATA Wall Socket. We supply free cable clips with any lengths above 5 Metres.
