Is There A CAT6 Cable With A 90 Degree Bend Compatible With The SmartPlug RV Internet Inlet
Question:
I asked this question before. What Type Of RJ45 Cable Should Be Used With The SmartPlug RV Internet Inlet The 90 degree elbow is not deep enough to into the SmartPlug. At least the 1 that I purchased. I converted my Starlink Cable to RJ45 CAT6 adapter and pugged into SmartPlug - it does work. Any suggestions on how to better protect the rj45 plug outside would be great.

While we don't currently carry any CAT6 cables there are some out on the market that are rated for outdoor use due to their enhanced casing. From the port in the SmartPlug RV Internet Inlet # SM38FR to the outer edge of the orange inlet shielding is 9/16" (pictured below).
I personally don't know of a specific cable that would come with an elbow connector that would match up to the 9/16" depth, but that's what you would need to look for. You could try reaching out to SmartPlug directly and seeing if they might have a supplier that already has these or could start manufacturing these since you're most likely not the only one wanting a product like this.
