Starlink Gen 2 Compact RJ45 Adapter Pair — Angled + Straight Leads, 2 x 1 m
A compact two-lead adapter set for Starlink Gen 2. The angled lead goes on the router side, the straight lead on the dish side. Each lead ends in a slim waterproof RJ45 socket, so the long run between them can be an ordinary shielded Ethernet cable. If the middle cable wears out, you replace that cable, not the Starlink leads.
Gen 2 Starlink cables end in a plug you cannot buy off the shelf. When the run has to pass through a cabinet, a conduit, a vehicle wall or a tight corner, a fixed cable is hard to work with. This pair breaks the run into three parts: a short lead at the dish, a short lead at the router, and a normal Ethernet cable in between. The two leads are not the same. One is angled — that one is for the router side, where the plug sits close to a wall or a cabinet back. The other is straight, for the dish side. Both leads are about 1 m long, and both use slim connector bodies so they fit where the larger-shell version would not. The leads are built from 24 AWG CAT5e FTP cable with copper conductors, a ground wire, Mylar and foil shielding, and a PVC jacket. The RJ45 couplers are slim black housings with red sealing rings, and they screw together around a standard RJ45 plug. What you get is the pair of leads. The long Ethernet cable between them is not included — you supply it, in the length your route needs. Keep the total run between dish and router under 175 ft, per the pictures. If you run through a POE injector, the pictures put that limit at 75 ft between dish and injector. Check the wiring and seal every outdoor joint before you power the system up.
