If someone knows - what kind of cable does the unit use out to the antenna? My COVID project is wiring the house with Cat6 and it might be worthwhile putting an enclosed drop out on the deck for the future.
- awad 6y agoAccording to this Reddit thread, the dish only has one cable presumably with POE https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/hqu7p6/data_mining_from_starlink_support_website/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/hqu7p6/data_minin...
- chiph 6y agoI followed a link from there to the FCC test reports. Pages 7 & 8 of this application doc appears to make it out to be standard POE: https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=4805881 https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=48... > Power Supply Rating 56Vdc from PoE adapter 0.3A 802.3af won't do that at any sort of appreciable cable length, so it's most likely 802.3bt. Page 13 indicates it has a standard RJ45 connector, probably on the router to the customer's network. It doesn't explicitly say it's RJ45 to the antenna. But they're pretty ubiquitous and weatherproofing glands exist that will allow a RJ45 to pass through them. So .. probably.
