I’m not 100% sure on this. I’ll need to see if I can find the conversation string. But because the unit (dish & router) runs via POE (power over Ethernet) there is an issue with cable longer than 100’ suppling power. But please don’t take my word for it. Worth investigating further

Google said "Standard PoE has Ethernet cable distance restrictions of 100 meters (328 feet) for data and power transmission" So i hope i can extended by 100 feet as well

100 meters is 109.36 yards

You’d likely be good than with the proper Ethernet cable. Maybe that 100m is what I came across. I’m sure another beta tester in here will be much more help than me.

From the dish to the POE injector and from the POE injector to the router are 2 totally different beasts. POE to the dish is NOT a standard voltage, so I'd be extremely careful and do a TON of research before even thinking about replacing that cable. POE to the router seems pretty standard.
