Collection: Telephone Cables

Telephone cables typically use 2 or 4 copper conductors (one or two pairs) and RJ11 connectors, designed for analogue voice and DSL signals. Ethernet cables use 4 pairs (8 conductors) with RJ45 connectors and are engineered for high-speed data. If you need to run both internet and phone in the same infrastructure, our Ethernet & Network Cables range offers cables that can carry both services.

Yes — standard telephone cables carry ADSL signals alongside voice, which is how most ADSL connections work. However, shorter, higher-quality cable runs improve speeds and reduce errors. If your broadband is slow or unstable, replacing long or poor-quality phone cords is a good first step. For even better performance, ask your ISP whether VDSL or fibre is available and consider our Fiber Optic Cables if you are future-proofing your setup.

Most telephone cables use RJ11 connectors — a 6-position, 2- or 4-contact plug that is smaller than the RJ45 used in Ethernet. Some older or multi-line business systems use RJ14 or RJ25 connectors which are physically the same size as RJ11 but with more active contacts. When buying extension cables or adaptors, always confirm the connector type matches your wall socket and device. See our Network Couplers & Joiners section for compatible RJ11 accessories.

For voice only, extensions up to 50 metres are generally reliable with standard 2-core telephone cable. For ADSL, even short extensions can degrade performance — keep the total cable length between your master socket and modem under 2–3 metres where possible. Multiple extensions or splitters add further signal degradation. If you need to extend broadband over a longer distance, Cat6 Patch Cables with a router in between is a far better solution.

Yes — 2-pair (4-core) telephone cable is commonly used for wired intercom and doorbell systems, as these require low-voltage signal wiring similar to telephone installations. Check your intercom's installation guide for the required number of conductors and maximum cable length. For audio-only systems, a standard 2-core cable often suffices; video intercom systems may need additional pairs. See our full Ethernet & Network Cables range for multi-pair options.

Flat telephone cable (phone cord) is designed for desktop use — running along skirting boards or from a wall socket to a handset. It is easy to route under carpets or along edges unobtrusively. Round telephone cable is better suited for in-wall, conduit or longer permanent runs where durability and flexibility matter more. For structured in-wall cabling, also consider Network Patch Cables which offer greater data capacity in the same form factor.
