What type of cable for adsl

The reason this cable is so common is that it is very cheap and it is easy to install the connectors on the end. Also it is quite popular due to its low profile, making it easy to obscure. Typically the RJ11 cable supplied with a modem is also made from this cable. While the short length of just a couple of meters as supplied with the modem will not usually cause any problems for most people, this type of cable is by far the worst type of cable to use for ADSL so long lengths should be avoided.

We only supply a maximum length of 10m for our economy RJ11 cables to avoid problems anything longer would not be recommended. If you are near the limits for receiving ADSL or experiencing problems this type of cable should be avoided altogether. Most telephone cables that you can buy in a DIY store are not twisted pair. They are cheaper, general purpose low voltage cable as used for house alarms. This cable has straight through connections that have no rejection to interference.

It is not a good idea to use this sort of cable for ADSL installation especially if more than 20m of cable is required, it would be best is this type of cable is avoided altogether.

Proper telephone cable is twisted pair the official standard is BT reference number CW Cable modem offers high-speed services as compared to ADSL modem, but ADSL modem provides a security mechanism to the user which cable modem does not provide.

In case of the cable modem, bandwidth is shared among the users which degrade transmission speed when a large number of users are accessing services simultaneously. Both are an ethernet to two wire interface with a little amplification. Using wired makes a real difference in power consumption since if you compare to the wireless Ethernet converter they need a big amplifier half a watt just to go ten feet then hundreds of amps to go fifty miles.

The cable modem is insecure as the broadcasted signal is received at all the hosts present the particular branch. In contrast, ADSL modem offers security as each user has a dedicated connection. The telephone system is generally more reliable than cable because in case of outage the telephone system has backup power and it continues to work.

If you're going near any electrical equipment a shielded twisted-pair cable would be a wise precaution if available at a competitive price. Message 4 of It will need to be 8. So a 10m version is best i guess. Message 5 of It might be better to site the router close to the BT socket and use a long network Ethernet cable from the router to wherever it needs to go. Message 6 of I'd say definitely would. Message 7 of Quote from: ReedRichards 8.
