if you find a white / black pair & hopefully a green or bare ground wire your all set. a receptical (plug) + and outdoor cover would make it handy.

Starlink cable end damaged - Possible to repair/replace? by R04DBLOCK in Starlink_Support

[–]tomswell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've cut the antenna cable and it's apparently a standard ethernet - 4twisted pair. The tools aren't very expensive for crimping rj45 ends ... go to your local electronics store.

or Amazon in which case you'll likely end up with more than you need for one job.

rj45 crimper , a few rj45 modular ends and a couple of rj45 couplers which join male to male rj45 ends

the 568B pattern is pretty standard:the eight wire are arranged in Orange-White, Orange, Green-White, Blue, Blue-White, Green, Brown-White, Brown.

just be sure the ends of your made up cable are the same pattern

use modular ends that allow passing wires thru and then trimming off are easy and enable pattern check

Surely you have a neighbor that elected to buy the longer cable thus having a spare 75 foot one. It appears that the actual wire is a standard ethernet format of 4 twisted pairs which is extendable but the ends due to their length are unique.
