[@Ivan-ju5cq]

No problem! Hope things aren’t too bad over there 🇺🇦 Thanks for watching!

Great, wil this still carry the power (PoE) needed to move the Starlink dish?

[@home.network.solutions]

Yes it will.

[@PetroBolah]

Thanks

Hi, just wondering if I can do the above method and couple two 50FT Starlink cables into one?

[@home.network.solutions]

Hi, yes I don’t see why not. Should work fine.

[@matarg99]

Thank you for sharing. Is it necessary to extend the grounding wire? Will a UTP Cat5 cable work, or is an FTP cable necessary?

[@home.network.solutions]

Its best to extend the grounding wire in my opinion but it will work without it.
Thanks for watching!

[@bode19766]

work with gen 3 starlink?

[@bode19766]

and can you use cat5e

[@home.network.solutions]

Not sure about Gen3, does it say on the cable. Yes you can use Cat5e as the Starlink cable is Cat5e. Should probably be shielded though.

[@bode19766]

@@home.network.solutions btw does your power supply crackling sound? and is it normal? mine does

[@tmalfris136]

can you connect starlink cable cat6 with cat5e?

[@home.network.solutions]

I’m not sure what you mean, but you can use Cat5e and Cat6.

Good video. What happens with the grounding wire? Does the coupler bridge it. Btw I always put the plastic sleeves on first before crimping the cable so you don’t have to fiddly about with the blue split rubber thingy (technical term :-)

[@michailangelopoulos5602]

The coupler had shielded connectors. So if the drain wire is properly connected on the cable, the coupler should bridge it just fine.

[@home.network.solutions]

Yep as has been said the grounding wire will work as the coupler is shielded.
