ADSL Cable
Use standard telephone cable to connect the RJ-11 telephone wall outlet to
the RJ-11 ADSL port on the ADSL Router.
Caution: Do NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. For
Ethernet connections, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.
Specifications
Wiring Conventions
For ADSL connections, a twisted-pair cable requires one pair of wires. Each
wire is identified by different colors. For example, one wire might be red and
the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-11 connector must be attached to
both ends of the cable.
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-11 connectors in a specific
orientation. The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-11
connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same
orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.
