Alante Satellite pre-wire

[johnrb]

I have a 2018 Alante 31R. I am installing my 5 year old SK-1000 Trav'ler dish that i removed from our previous RV.

I located the factory installed pre-wiring under the roof. My problem is the 6-pin data wire from the RV roof and the wire on my dish are both Male connections.

I need a short segment of wire with female connections on both ends. Or a fitting with back to back female connections. Asked around at RV dealers and dish retailers and no one can help. Has anyone else experience this problem?

just replace the ends with matching male/female connectors and be done with with it.

Easier said than done. Winegard only sells long cables with ends already attached. They say they can't get the fittings alone or a small male to male cable. Still looking on the internet. Six pin connectors have all kinds of small differences in the shapes.

Forget the Winegard OEM stuff, just get a waterproof 6 pin connector like this... replace both the females with these matching male/female connecters or something similar... see pic below.
