Yeah I have the first gen dish, and about 60 feet of network cable from the dish spooled up in a closet. It's not very tidy and sort of a pain to deal with. I could probably cut it down and put a new end on it, but I worry that shortening the cable will screw it up, or it'll screw up the PoE since it's not really 100% standard PoE (so I've read) to the dish due to the higher power draw.
