I have always been trained, learned and read about not putting power next to ethernet unless it is all shielded cables, hmmm really? Seems like I have done it before but man, this did not set will for my Starlink equipment.
My neat cables velcro’d together had some much noise and interference my network would barely run – really.
I broke them apart and the cable spec in which we speak of indicates that they should be no less than 8 inches apart and only crossed at right angles, never ran in parallel and not through the same conduit.
Instantly my network was back in tune and I walls seeing the 200 mbps download speeds again!
200 mpbs to 20 mbps that is a 90% performance hit.
Kids, DO NOT run power and ethernet through the same conduit or in parallel with each other, just don’t do it!
(Now I have to rethink it and come up with a new way to clean the cabling up!)
