Digital switchover cabling question
My phone is being switched to digital later in the month and I've just received my landline adaptor.
The phone is currently on the other side of the room, about 6m away from the Virgin hub, and I'd like to leave it there. I'm looking at extension cables for the phone, and I notice that the current phone cable connects into the phone base station with a RJ11 plug, and into the wall socket with a standard BT plug. The adapter VM have sent converts the BT plug back into a RJ11 plug.
Does this mean I could just use a RJ11-to-RJ11 cable and connect the phone directly to the hub? E.g. something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/rhinocables%C2%AE-Premium-Internet-Broadband-Telephone-White/dp/B01NAYNVWN?th=1
It'd be nice to to have to use converters/extensions and just have a single cable. Any advice gratefully received!
The RJ11 cable will work, providing your telephone complies with the modern telephone standard and uses the centre pair of contacts in its RJ11 socket.
