Whats the cable called....

[kazz0817]

Can someone tell me the name of the cable that fits from the master socket to the Sky Hub? The one that fits to the microfilter, and other end fits to the Sky Hub to provide internet (not phone cable). Is it a RJ11 to RJ11?

Yes it's RJ11 to RJ11, however if you have (or get) a filtered faceplate you can use RJ11 to RJ45.

I have a filtered faceplate from ADSL nation. Which cable would be better? Or both same performance wise?

[RUNITDIRECT]

The XTE uses an RJ45 socket too, we would recommend the vDSL cables we have.

The ADSL Nation faceplate I have has 2 sockets, one for a telephone, and the RJ11 sized one. So I think it would need to be RJ11 to RJ11? I'm also after a black cable instead of the standard grey one. Do you sell black good quality RJ11 cables? Or would the VDSL one you mentioned still work?

PS my master socket is this one

The XTE that they sold used to have RJ45 sockets as do all faceplates, can you verify that? Just take an Ethernet lead if you have one (?) and plug it in. The vDSL one I mentioned uses CAT5 cable which is the best really, we only have them in white I'm afraid. We could do black but that would be CW1308 cable (still a much better cable than the flat types supplied with modems).

Is the RJ45 the ones that fit into devices like PS3 etc

[RUNITDIRECT]

Yes, goes between your routers Ethernet ports & the devices.

Just tried an RJ45 and it fitted which suprised me as never knew it would lol! So a vDSL cable would be better for Fibre? and a black one would be better than the generic one sky supplies? Where would I find a good quality Black vDSL cable? Thanks in advance.

[RUNITDIRECT]

vDSL spec is what you want for fibre, what length cable do you need? We only have them in white sorry but I can see if we can make one in black. Any twisted pair cable is better than the one supplied with the modems/routers.
