Hey Larry, the Smartplug part # SM96MJ is the correct part you are looking for as this has ability to have an ethernet connection for your Starlink and a coax for the cable connection. For the ethernet connector you would need the part # SM38MJ and then for the coax part # SM76MJ. You will also need a Starlink to Ethernet adapter which we do not carry.

Are these the two connectors you need for sure?

I believe so! Thanks! Are those trailer or SmartPlug stock numbers? (Put another way - do I order from you - or SmartPlug?

I am not very techy, but this SM96M Smartplug appears that it would wotk great for my Gen 3 Starlink. Does ihe SM38M ethernet connector have a front and back ethernet connection hub for connecting the Starlink cable with factory connections. I would not want to cut this cable to attach the individual wires. It has to be simple like plug and play! I look forward to your reply. I want to get my Starlink up and running as soon as possible. Would this be a sheilded connection? Thanks

@Bill You are correct. The connection between the Starlink satellite and the router is not ethernet. I looked at my Starlink setup to confirm this and this is true. I did find that a few places like Best Buy sell Starlink to ethernet adapters so the above mentioned setup could work but you would need to source an additional adapter that we don't carry.
