ACT Black 10 meter flat telephone cable with RJ11 and RJ45 connectors

The ACT Flat Telephone Cable Black 10m TD5311 is a flat-profile telephone cable supplied with RJ11 and RJ45 connectors. Designed for voice and basic data connections, the cable combines a slim, space-saving form factor with a 10 metre length to reach distant wall sockets and devices. The black outer sheath provides a discreet appearance suitable for home or office environments while its flat construction helps route the cable under carpets, along skirting boards or through narrow gaps.

Advantages

The flat design reduces cable bulk and simplifies routing in limited spaces. Having both RJ11 and RJ45 connectors increases compatibility with a range of telephony devices and adapters. A 10 m length offers flexibility in device placement without the need for intermediate extensions. The black finish blends with furniture and flooring to minimise visual impact.

Suitable for

• Connecting landline telephones to wall sockets
• Linking telephone adapters, modems or ADSL splitters
• Routing along skirting boards or under carpets where round cables are impractical
• Temporary or permanent installations in homes and small offices

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Profile: flat cable
• Connectors: RJ11 and RJ45
• Colour: black

How to use

Uncoil the flat cable and route it along the desired path, keeping the cable flat to maintain low profile. Insert the RJ11 or RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on the telephone, modem or socket until it clicks. Ensure the cable is not sharply folded or kinked at the connector ends, and avoid placing heavy furniture directly on the cable to prevent damage. If necessary, secure the cable with low-adhesive clips or tape designed for cabling.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or large electrical equipment. When routing under carpets, check periodically for wear and replace the cable if the outer sheath shows signs of damage. Use the RJ11 connector for standard telephone handsets and the RJ45 connector only where the device explicitly supports it or via appropriate adapters.
