Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at this SmartPlug RV marine data port inlet. Now, if you use SmartPlug to power your ride, then this data port will match your setup while giving you the same weatherproof protection. The unique combination of a blank and open port is gonna let you customize your connectivity setup. This data port inlet comes with one blank insert, as you can see, and one open port. So that's gonna give you the ability to customize your RV or boat's connectivity options.
This is gonna be compatible with HDMI, coaxial, Ethernet, USB, and USB snap-in connectors. Of course, those connectors are sold separately. This is going to install into a standard size cutout and its seals with the included adhesive backed foam mounting gasket as you can see here. So this is great because you're not gonna have to worry about any messy caulking. This is going to install with your existing screws.
This does not include any hardware. And then the foam gasket here inside of the lid is gonna give you that weatherproof seal. This is made here in the USA of UV resistant IP56 rated materials. This is gonna hold up really well in extreme climates or out on the water, and then it's going to seal shut just like that. Obviously, this is in gray, but if that's not necessarily the color that's going to match your setup, the good news is we do also offer this in black just to kinda give you an idea of the color difference between gray and black.
And this is going to be the same as well. So if you're interested in that black one, I am including the item number for it on your screen and you can just take that item number and pop it in the search field of our website and that will take you to this black one. And you can add that to your order over this gray one. Instructions are included to guide you through that simple installation process. And I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

The port is assumed to be replacing an existing something, and doesn't include screws or instructions that would be helpful when installing it new. Also it relies on a foam gasket that will eventually fail to seal because of shrinkage and would be difficult to seal using a proper sealant.
This will work very well for our starling cable to transition outside!
I no longer have my StarLink cable running through my open RV window, so the cold/heat doesn't put demand on my batteries. This works great!
Built great and solved my challenge of keeping the coax and adding a Ethernet connection.
I originally had a single coax adapter that was intended to be used for a tripod based satellite dish. I replaced it with this port. I have my gen 3 Starlink roof mounted with the Starlink fixed roof mount. Sometimes my spot is under a tree or when at home under a cover so the SL does not work. I can not remove the dish and tripod mount it and plug in at this new coax and Ethernet access port. I chose the chrome option. There is a black plastic one as well. If you need a weather proof Ethernet port for your rig this will fit the bill
Works great with Starlink and Wal-Mart (CAT6, RJ45) cables, but remember to buy the adapter! A 2-inch hole saw it perfect to install. For the interior I drilled a 3/4-inch hole in a blank plug cover and installed a rubber grommet in the cover. I still put a light bead of exterior caulking to ensure a waterproof seal. I would buy it again.
High quality products arrived in great condition and are exactly as described on the etrailer site.
Easy to install works great for my Starlink Ethernet plug pass thru on my Travel Trailer! Weather proof too!
Excellent product! I slighly modified this data port inlet to provide an external port for my Starlink. When not traveling, the cover protects the port from rain and debris. When stationary, the cover provides protection from the elements (rain, snow, sun, etc.) even when the Starlink data cable is connected. I couldn't be happier with this product!
This port has been a phenomenal upgrade! Rather than running the cable through a window, door or as I did under the slide out…upgrading to this port has saved so many headaches and time. I removed a coax cable outlet that we would never use as we stream everything, made the hole a little bigger with the template and installed this. Highly recommended!!
The smart plug function just as advertised. Very happy with my purchase. I used the Keystone Single Jack Ethernet Connector for SmartPlug Data Item #SM38MJ with the plug. I mounted the starlink router and power supply inside the trailer. Now all I have to do is plug the starlink dish into the smart and starling works well. I also had to buy a short 6 foot CAT6 cable to plug into the back of the smart plug and the router. I also bought a 150' Starlink cable for when I need a longer run to get away from obstructions like trees. I also bought a CAT6 coupler that I can use with the original 50' Starlink cable and the new 150' cable allowing me to place the dish up to 200' away from the trailer. I tested the 200' run and it works fine.
Exactly what I wanted. I had an existing cable TV connection port which was not in use. The Smartplug fit nicely in the existing hole so all I needed to do was drill 4 pilot holes for the screws and screw it to my RV. Bought power and ethernet keystone connectors and up in running quickly.
As advertised. Perfect.
Perfect. What I needed to connect our S tarlink.
Outstanding product and great external connection for my Starlink. Great product, fast shipping and easy transaction
Direct fit replacement for the OEM cable/sat plug and allowed me to wire Skylink Mini to my Peplink router with an Ethernet cable. Only took me 15 minutes to do the swap. Exactly what I was looking for.
I installed it on my rv to run my Starlink mini pwr cable and ethernet cable for my mini mesh router. The Cat 6 female to female came with the unit, but I had to make my own modifications for the Starlink pwr connection. It all turned out great!
Just so you know. I am an Amateur Radio operator, N4SSG. We are purchasing an RV and I have modified this device to handle a SO239 has antenna connection. There is a need for this and there is no product I have found, so I fashioned my own .
Do you have a question about this Shore Power Inlet?
