Hello forum,
We had an A2YL2Y 6X2X0.6 TR telecommunications cable supplied in advance by the electrician for the Telekom DSL connection. Now I am receiving different feedback.
My questions:
1) Is this the correct cable for a DSL connection, the type Telekom would install?
2) Can this cable be used for a video intercom/doorbell system?
Good luck

Deutsche Telekom charges a flat fee of 800 EUR (about 860 USD), so you might as well dig and lay the cables yourself. The 800 EUR (about 860 USD) is a collectively calculated amount to ensure that everyone can afford it. I think that is completely fair. However, there are limits to what you can get for that 800 EUR (about 860 USD) and what conditions you must meet. Take a look at the contract terms. Excavation on private property is not automatically included, as that would significantly exceed the collective contribution.
Addendum because it didn’t come to mind earlier in the excitement: There are special converters that transmit LAN and PoE over two wires. You need one of these devices at both the beginning and the end of the cable. It converts about 50-100 Mbps including PoE over two wires and then reverses the process at the other end. For example, such devices are available from Allnet. Whether it works well in practice remains to be seen. This setup relies on powerline technology, which can sometimes have its issues.

You need one of those things at both ends of the cable.Okay. Seems like it’s a socket-to-socket solution, right? I was actually thinking more of a PoE-capable switch and then a coupling module at both ends of the cable.
No, no power outlet, but the technology behind it is the same (with the same issues and vulnerabilities); at each end, there is simply an RJ45 socket. Just google "2N 2Wire." That’s exactly what you’re talking about: a PoE-capable switch inside the house and a coupling module at both ends.
