Dish 500 feet from router

[Rojillio]

Right now I have approximately 25% obstructions from rees.  500ft up the hills I'm down to 0.25%. Would be feasible to run cable that far with an extender such as this?

Extending your Starlink connection with a 500-foot cable is generally not recommended and likely won't work effectively. Starlink uses high-frequency signals that can degrade over long distances when passed through a cable. Here’s why:

1. Signal Degradation: The longer the cable, the more signal loss you'll experience. This is particularly critical for the high-frequency signals used by satellite systems like Starlink, which are more susceptible to degradation over distance compared to lower frequency signals.

2. Power Loss: Starlink's system includes a PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector, which powers the dish. Extending the cable too far could result in insufficient power reaching the dish, preventing it from operating correctly or reducing its efficiency.

3. Cable Type and Quality: Even with high-quality coaxial or Ethernet cables designed for minimal signal loss, the length you're considering would likely exceed the capabilities of standard consumer-grade materials.

4. Official Recommendations: Starlink typically recommends using the cable lengths provided in their kit to ensure optimal performance. Any modification beyond this can result in reduced service quality or complete outage.

If you absolutely must position your Starlink setup further from its connection point, consider using a signal amplifier or repeater, though compatibility and effectiveness can vary. Alternatively, it might be better to look for ways to relocate the dish closer to your connection point or use multiple access points or a mesh network to extend your Wi-Fi coverage, rather than extending the primary cable from the dish itself.
