Starlink terminals currently on sale for $299, so I had to bite



I plan to piggyback on the 2 inch Rigid conduit that the power comes in on





Initial testing, got the cord just running through the window into the garage to connect back to my network



Starlink gateway connects to a switch, where I have a dedicated VLAN for Starlink so it can get back to my pfsense firewall in the house



Tested, works alright. Bought a 48v DC PSU and a 200w PoE Injector, so I can completely bypass the Starlink gateway



I could not find a J-Pole that could mount to a 2-3/8 pole which is the OD of the service entrance

So, I bought a great 2 inch DISH J-Pole, and just made my own holes and bought some 2-1/2 U bolts

What are they going to do, shut the power off?

In all seriousness, I looked it up briefly and couldn't find anything

The answer - it's complicated.

Low and high voltage in same conduit

I know that you cannot run 12-24 vdc in the same conduit it 110 vac. I am stumped as to where in the code this is listed. I have found a reference to mey situation in 760.55 but it refers to power-limited fire alarm circuits. Any ideas where it might also be addressed in the 2005 code?

Low and high voltage in the same conduit

I’m getting mixed answers maybe you guys can help? I have 120 V lighting system in a commercial building that is going to have 0 to 10v dimming capabilities. My question is on running the 0 to 10 V wires in with the 120 V switch legs. I would obviously use 600 V rated wire probably an 18 gauge...

Can I Run Ethernet And Power In The Same Conduit?

Anyone can run an ethernet and power cable in the same conduit. The actual process is precisely what it sounds like. Just run the ethernet cable next to the power cable in a conduit. However,

Cat 5/6 in same conduit as power: is NM-B required, or is THHN acceptable?

Preface: I'd like to avoid the question of whether one should run data and power together; my question is focused on Code compliance. I'm trying to ensure I interpret Code correctly when running C...

It won't actually be using the conduit to carry the ethernet, just physically support the J Pole

Here is the final result. I'm sure its against some kind of rule, but they can come after me!
