Preparing to fish my Starlink cable and seeking advice.

**microm3gas** · 09-22-2022, 01:17 PM

Hello there, I am looking at fishing my Starlink cable from the satellite connection on the nautilus, to where it terminates near my tv.

I have a 2020 24050 RL and have taken some pictures after I pulled off the covers. I have given the cables a bit of a tug but not too hard, just yet. I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar...

Inside of nautilus is where I was looking to pull the cable through, which looks like this. Messy, but what I expected

The satellite cable is the Grey one, here

And then on the inside near the tv there is a grey cable, which is the same color as the exterior believe is the satellite cable

That grey cable, however, seems to come down, where I expected it to be coming from the floor direction. It could be long and just looped in there, but has anyone done anything similar and may be able to verify? I don't want to go yanking on anything...

If this isn't a good path to take, I can fish it elsewhere, but this is my preference as I run the cable through the same hole I put my water hose through.

Thank you for any help or advice!

I ran into the same issue as you. I plan on using the existing satellite coaxial cable as an ethernet run (ethernet over coaxial). I haven't yet been able to prove my theory yet, but for less than$120, I'm going to eventuality get around to it.

I just run the Starlink cable in through the drip tray at the bottom of the closest slide. Never had a leak or a problem yet.

Is the Starlink connector a CAT5 connector? If so, check out this thread around post #14 to see how I managed to get an ethernet connection from the outside of the camper to the inside.

Nope, it's a proprietary connector that looks like a micro USB connector.
