The maximum distance for a Starlink cable is around 100 feet (30 meters). This limitation is due to standard Ethernet cable restrictions. For longer distances, using additional hardware like a Power over Ethernet (PoE) extender can be considered to maintain connection quality.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is a Power over Ethernet extender? A Power over Ethernet (PoE) extender is a device that allows you to extend the range of your Ethernet connection while also supplying power to devices that require it.
  2. Can I use longer Ethernet cables with Starlink? While the maximum distance for a Starlink cable is around 100 feet, using high-quality Ethernet cables and extenders like PoE can help maintain connection quality over longer distances.
  3. What happens if I exceed the maximum distance for Starlink cable? Exceeding the maximum recommended distance may result in poor connection quality or loss of signal. It's best to use extenders for longer runs.
