I need about 250ft of Starlink Gen 2 cable. I have watched videos and read of people slicing the line for various reasons. It seems this can be accomplished without issue. My question is if I splice a 100ft and 150ft starlink cat5e gen2 cable for a total of about 250ft will this work? How long of a cable distance will work? Is there a reason why 150ft is the max length starlink provides? Thanks, Toby

When browsing reviews of online casinos, players often come across mentions of mobile casino South Africa. These platforms offer convenient access to a wide range of games for players on the go.
I spoke with someone knowledgeable in the Starlink and cable category. He felt that extending the gen 2 cable to 250ft would not be an issue in terms of data flow. His concern was the possible loss in wattage that heats the dish to melt the snow and ice in winter. I live in the northern climate and his concern was snow and ice storms could cause it to kick out and keep booting due to lack of voltage. I would have to go out and manually clean it off or pour water over it. He said if I lived in the south/ or year round warm climate he was confident there would not be an issue.
Hello Toby, welcome to the community! I cannot speak for the 2nd Gen system directly as we have yet to splice a cable for that system. If it holds up as well as the 1st Gen system, we have extended the cable to 300ft(Altogether)and it worked fine. The thing to note here is that the equipment is working harder to push the signals through the longer cabling, meaning it will heat up and needs to be kept cool with air moving across it., your also modifying Starlink equipment and may be void of warranty. I would recommend not cutting the cable if possible and using a booster if possible, albeit this is not always possible but definitely make sure you look into the option before ruling it out completely. Hope this helps!
