Connecting Belkin High Speed Internet Modem Cable to micro filter

I bought one of these:
Belkin High Speed Internet Modem Cable
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009RIPL/

However the end which connects to the dsl socket on the micro-filter is the wrong size, so I ordered a BT to RJ11 adapter on ebay, but that doesn't fit either!! Any idea what adapter I need to connect this modem cable to the micro-filter??

Thanks.

    I've used both ADSL Modems and Routers. I've always had to use RJ-11 to RJ-11 cables to connect them to the filter. Does the RJ-11 end of your cable plug into both the modem and filter? If so, this is the kind of cable you will need.

    The original cable you bought is for old dial up modems which work via the normal telephone socket, not broadband 'modems'.
