DSL phone cord question

A JT1037WH?


I don't know. I didn't read.

Could you post a picture of the plug for the one you have? with that, I can identify it.

I know next to nothing about DSL

But are you looking for the cat 6 cables?

Did you call the phone company and ask?

That might be your best bet. 

Did you look at the Cat 6 ones i posted?

I dont know much about DSL so I cant help here really....

Yeah, I think its just a normal phone line man. Like one you use with phones and Dial up.

CAT5 or CAT6...both are ethernet cables...

You could always take the original cable with you to wherever and compare...

ETA: Its probably printed on the cord somewhere actually.

Me either. 

I just cat 6 cables are DSL cables so I thought it MAY help.

Sorry I cant be of more help. 

Honestly in this case I would just call up your guys phone/cable company and just ask what kind of cable it is. Most people dont deal in dsl anymore, so it might be tough to get a concrete answer. Unless either Tom or Storm knows, then yea. 

Good luck my man

Have you compared inputs?

Take it out and compare it with a normal phone cord

It might be the same input

I dont see a link?

Maybe im interpreted that wring.....I always though DSL was regular phone lines.

I get mixed results when I search...some come up as a regular phone line others come up as ethernet cables..

it's regular phone line,when I had century link I bought a cheap ass 500ft phone cable from the dollar store for 5 bucks and was good to go...still have it lol.

Oh sorry. I think I found the one. It's called RJ11. Had to type in "High Speed phone cable". I was showing this link.

And the RJ11.

Listen to JR

He has had regular DSL

yeah its def a RJ. We have DSL too, and I had to hook a new modem up last weekend. Its an RJ11, trust me.

I ran it from the jack in the wall at my old apt all the way up stairs to my room where I kept the modem,and seemed to still have a football field worth of cable left lol.

edit: reading the amazon review that rj11 seemed to make their connection faster,so that would probably be better...I only had shitty 3mb internet with century link,fastest they had available here

Whelp yet another problem solved by the SeC

Yeah, you can get regular RJ11s virtually anywhere. 

And like ethernet cables, it doesn't matter the brand or the price. 

We are still using the same cable we used almost 9 years ago when we had dial up. Thing has been through years of rain and mud, still works like a beaut.

Why is your internet cable outside in the rain and mud?

We had a problem with all our phone jacks through out the house. So instead of fixing em, we just plugged one end of the phone line into the phone box in our driveway, and just pulled the other end through my moms bathroom window, throw her bathroom, stapled it to the ceiling, ran it into her room, stapled it down the wall, then plugged it into a splitter, plugged one cord into the modem, and the other into our phone. 

BOOM.

Yes its RJ11. Trust me I'm a wizard

It's just a normal phone cable, that's what an RJ11 is.

Their's probably just has a thicker jacket.

Yep. Phone cable.

Would've commented earlier but just now saw this thread. I was on DSL up until last year when my ISP upgraded. I know the original question is already answered, but I saw where someone mentioned Cat 6 so I thought I'd clear up something about it...pretty much the higher the #, the newer/better the cable type is. The actual performance difference between 5/6 is Cat 6 handles up to 250 MHz, where Cat 5 can only handle 100 MHz. Linking a webpage that explains the actual differences if anyone is interested... http://www.ehow.com/list_7471829_types-utp-cables.html

Also DSL/regular phone line = RJ11 connector, Cat5/Cat6 = RJ45 connector
