Hi there,
I have read a few threads along this vein but not sure if I got a clear answer so I will describe my scenario.
I have ordered, and will soon receive, my Starlight kit ( with rectangular dish). The kit includes the 75 foot cable.
I plan to mount the dish on a pole on my property that is approx 150 feet from the utility room in the house where the router will be located.
I can get inside the house (via conduit) for the first 50 feet but will well short of the utility room.
So, the 75 foot cable for the kit will not work in this scenario.
I have extra (un-committed) Cat5 cables running from the pole into the utility room.
Here is question #1: Is the Starlink cable compatible with Cat5?
Question #2: Can I cut the Starlink cable and connect it to the Cat5 and then reconnect the Starlink cable on the other end of the Cat5 line - near the location of the router?
In other words, can I add 75 feet of Cat5 line in the middle of a Starlink &75') cable and it would still work?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Terry
