What type of cable runs from the phone line to the Sky router, need longer one

Bugsy — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 09:19:02 GMT

I need to buy a longer cable that connects the phone line to the Sky router as the one supplied is too short. Can anyone tell me what cable I need. The one I got from the sky hub is the correct cable (black one) but just too short. Both ends are identical as one goes into a phone line (flitered) and the other into the router. I think it is an RJ11 but I'm not totally sure?

The dsl rj11 to rj11 cable is the one to look out for the sky supplied has 2 identical pvrple plugs . You can get a replacement from currys, dixons, pc world and argos etc for a little over £5

That's RJ11 to RJ11, sometimes sold as ADSL, VDSL or modem cable. Strictly speaking only a pair of copper traces is required, but two pair (four conductor) is typically better made and more robust.
