Extension cable


Recommended Posts

The original cable from the dish to the router is not long enough for me. If I buy a new extension cable that is long enough will it extend the original cable or does it replace the original cable.? If it does replace it then how do I get inside the dish to disconnect the original cable?

The longer cable is a replacement for your original cable.

There is no need to get inside the dish. You will have to take the dish post out of the stand/mount and then the cable come out of the bottom of the dish. Plug the new one in, reinstall the stand/mount and then route as needed.

Sadly, because the cable uses proprietary connectors, there are no commercially-available in-line connectors to join to cables together.
