Description
The Starlink Mini Ethernet Cable (RJ45, 10m) is a weather-sealed Starlink ethernet cable rental that plugs directly into the ethernet port on the back of a Starlink Mini and terminates in a standard RJ45 connector. It lets you hardwire a router, switch, NAS, laptop, edit station, streaming encoder, or point-of-sale terminal to the dish instead of relying on the Mini’s built-in Wi-Fi — useful any time the antenna needs to sit outside with a clear view of the sky while the gear that uses it sits inside a trailer, tent, cabin, or vehicle.
At 10 metres (32.8 feet) the cable gives you real separation between the dish and your equipment, and the moulded connector at the Starlink end seats into the port recess to keep water out. The conductors are 26 AWG copper in a shielded Cat5e jacket rated by the manufacturer to 1200 Mbps — comfortably ahead of what a Starlink Mini delivers in practice. Rent it alongside a Starlink Mini when your setup needs a wired hand-off rather than Wi-Fi.

Starlink Ethernet Cable Rental Tips
The Starlink Mini runs its own Wi-Fi router by default. If you are plugging this cable into a third-party router or mesh system, open the Starlink app, go to Settings and enable Bypass Mode so the Mini hands the connection straight through. Skipping this step leaves you with two routers doing NAT, which breaks port forwarding and can confuse devices on the network.
The Starlink Mini does not support Power over Ethernet. The DC power jack on the back of the dish is a separate connection and still needs the Mini power cable and supply (or a 12–48 V DC source). Plan for two runs out to the antenna, not one.
The moulded connector at the Starlink end is the one built to sit in the weather. The plain RJ45 at the other end is a normal network plug — route it into the trailer, tent, or building and keep it out of standing water. If it has to pass through a window or door seal, use the RJ45 end so you are not compressing the sealed connector.
Ten metres disappears quickly once you route around a vehicle or along a wall. Walk the cable path first, then place the antenna where the run reaches with slack to spare. Coil the excess in loose loops rather than tight wraps, and avoid pinching the cable under a tire, jack, or door.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the Starlink Mini actually have an ethernet port?
Yes. Starlink’s own specification sheet lists one latching ethernet LAN port on the Mini, next to the DC power jack under the cover on the back of the dish. This cable plugs into that port directly, so you do not need a separate Starlink Ethernet Adapter the way you would on some earlier hardware.
Do I need this if I am just using Wi-Fi from the dish?
No. The Starlink Mini broadcasts its own dual-band Wi-Fi and most renters never touch the ethernet port. You want this cable when the dish has to sit away from the people using it, when you are feeding your own router or mesh system, or when a device needs a wired connection — a NAS, an editing workstation, a streaming encoder, or a payment terminal.
Will this cable power the Starlink Mini?
No. The Mini does not support Power over Ethernet, so this cable moves data only. Power comes through the separate DC jack on the dish, which accepts 12–48 V DC. If you are running off a battery or power station, that is a separate cable and a separate consideration.
Is 1200 Mbps more than the Starlink Mini can use?
Yes, by a wide margin. Real-world Starlink Mini throughput generally lands well below the cable’s rated speed, so the cable is not the limiting factor in the connection. The rating matters mainly for headroom and for local traffic between wired devices on the same switch.
Can I leave it outside in rain or snow?
The connectors carry an IP68 rating from the manufacturer and the jacket is outdoor rated, so the run itself is built for exposure. Starlink notes that only its own cable preserves the dish’s full IP67 seal, so for extended wet-weather use we suggest sheltering the connection point at the dish and keeping the RJ45 end indoors or under cover.
Does it work with a Starlink Gen 3 or Standard dish?
This cable is built for the ethernet port on the Starlink Mini. Gen 3 and Standard hardware use a different port arrangement and generally need their own adapter or cable. If you are renting something other than the Mini, ask us before you build your setup around it.
What do I plug the other end into?
Anything with a standard RJ45 ethernet jack — a router’s WAN port, a network switch, a NAS, a desktop or laptop with an ethernet port, or a USB-C to ethernet adapter on a modern laptop. If you are connecting a single computer directly, no extra configuration is needed beyond leaving the interface on DHCP.
Do you rent the Starlink Mini itself?
Yes. The Starlink Mini with unlimited data is available from Gear Locker in Williams Lake, and this Starlink ethernet cable rental is listed as an accessory for it. Booking both together means the dish, power, and wired hand-off all arrive as one kit.
