Hacking the Rectangular Starlink Dishy Cable
@UnknowUser0815

Hello, can someone please help me get an answer to the questions with the question marks?

I don't want to damage my hardware.

Is this setup possible or do I also need the Dish-RJ45 adapter?

If not, how do I patch the CAT cable between Dish (https://amzn.eu/d/9qXAmcy) and Edup PoE Injector (https://amzn.eu/d/1gppFWD)?

Thanks

Just cut 568b. All these purpose built injectors flip the power for you internally so all you need is standard 568b ends.

Thx WIMMBYIII

Normally you use a second additional Edup device (Starlink to RJ45 adapter) into which you plug the end of the original router and this device also has a T-568B output connection to the PoE Injector. So you don't have to X-swap the cables.

But I don't want to use the original cable/router, just keep it for safety.

I was concerned about how the small adapter is pinned from the dish to RJ45, but I also assume T-568B.

Yep and you can cut the router end and make a spx-90 to 568b pigtail and couple it if for whatever reason you want to use it.
