The order of the wires does matter, despite if they're the same on each side. Stick with the B or A standard. It will likely "work", because the network speeds are limited, and ethernet has good error correction at the slower speeds, but the twists are used as a "shielding" and to get proper range/speed they need to be in the correct orientation.
I have installed 5 so far this year of the high performance starlink on boats. Most times I have to cut the cable on fishing boats to run through tubing or confined spaces. I have soldiered back together and never had any issues.
Some of the connectors out there are bulkhead-style in the way they attach to the wall, some aren't. The one we opted for replaced an existing receptacle on our exterior trailer wall, so we didn't have to drill any new holes. The connector itself is a FxF coupler that allows for the Male RJ45s I addded to be plugged in, allowing me to get through the wall of our rig. So not like the bulkhead connectors often seen with coax cables.
Patiently. Frances likes to line each cable up and pass them all through at one time. I opt to pass through each conductor separately. Both have their benefits and challenges.
It should, yes. I haven't done it personally, but everything I've read/heard says that the cable structure is the same, just with different ends. I've had people reach out planning to do this to their Gen 3 cables and haven't heard back that it didn't work.
We power our Dishy from the cable that we modified in the video. It's connected to the stock Starlink router, we aren't running an aftermarket router (providing the PoE).
I have cable cat 6 through whole my house. Can cut starlink cable and conect to my cat6 cable conect them with rj45 switch both ways and then again do dthe same and conect to starlink router?
Yeah .. that's essentially how I have our trailer wired. I have Cat 6 cable running through the walls and then connect at either end using RJ45s. Not sure if you are saying you want to run through a switch, but if so I'd think you'd have to run from router to the switch if you were planning to use that as your WAN connection.
You mean once you've added the RJ45s on either end? Sure, it should work with no issues. But if it's going to be outside you may want to look into a weatherproof connector, or have some way to protect the connection from the elements. The port we have on the side of our trailer, to get inside the rig, is essentially a coupler.
@@RamblinHamblins yes sir I'm planning to use a weatherproof coupler. Our house is surrounded with tall trees and I have no choice but to put it far away from our house.
Our replacement cable arrived just today so this is super timely. Thanks for the great content, y'all.
Awesome. Im still working on the more comprehensive walk through … it kept growing what trying to make this video and I just decided to split them.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Great tutorial, much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!

That’s one way to go.
We needed to be able to disconnect the exterior dish/cable so a disconnect able connection was a must for us.
Solders generally aren’t good in high vibration environments as they will end up cracking. Definitely recommend using a crimped connector
Agreed!
That’s interesting and new subscribers here!! Thanks for sharing❤Zack & Linda
Thanks for coming and subscribing! Hope the video helped and the larger video should be out after Thanksgiving.
There needs to be a bulkhead connector for ST for through campers and houses..

Nice i know now that SL cable is UTP cable inside 😃
It's STP, there is a foil shield in there along with a drain wire.
How is the stripped and separated cable fed through the RJ45 connector?
Kinda important, don't you think?

will this work for gen 3 cables
It should, yes.

nice video, a question, do you try to power the dishy via a modified cable which is connected to a PoE? and how do you do that?
We power our Dishy from the cable that we modified in the video. It's connected to the stock Starlink router, we aren't running an aftermarket router (providing the PoE).

Can I add 2 50ft cables together using a coupler?
You mean once you've added the RJ45s on either end? Sure, it should work with no issues.

Urutan yang dipakai starlink untuk poe pilihan A apa B
I believe that Starlink uses “B”, but I haven’t confirmed that myself.
it is work??
Works great.
