Starlink flat cable is a flat network cable specially designed for the Starlink satellite Internet system. Its core is used to connect Starlink satellite antennas with routers/power adapters, and it is compatible with mainstream models such as Gen2/Gen3. It features a flat structure, high flexibility and weather resistance, and stable transmission as its core selling points Satellite networking deployment is widely applied in indoor and outdoor as well as mobile scenarios.
Core Definitions and Compatible Models
Basic concept: Starlink flat cable is a dedicated Ethernet cable with a flat design, which is different from traditional round cables. It is only 5-15mm thick and about 30-80mm wide, and it has the advantages of concealment, easy installation and anti-bending
Compatible system
Gen3 Standard Terminal (Standard V3/REV4) : Universal RJ45 interface, compatible with CAT6/CAT8 flat cables
Gen2 rectangular antenna: Some adopt dedicated interfaces, while others support RJ45 flat cables
Flat High Performance Series: The original factory standard flat cable is compatible with the same type of replacement/extension
Starlink Mini: Compatible with RJ45 flat extension cables
Ii. Core Advantages of Starlink Flat Wire (Compared with Traditional Round Wire)
The advantage dimension specifically demonstrates the application value of Starlink
The installation convenience: Flat and ultra-thin, it can be easily tucked into door and window gaps, under carpets, and closely adheres to the wall for wiring, reducing the need for drilling. It is both aesthetically pleasing and concealed, making it suitable for scenarios with limited space such as residences, RVS, and ships
The anti-bending and weather resistance are mostly achieved through high-flexibility elastomer sheaths and multi-strand fine copper wires, with a bending resistance of ≥ 10,000 times, making it suitable for frequent movement scenarios such as outdoor wind swings and vehicle vibrations
The cross-sectional area has a small space utilization rate, allowing for dense wiring and not occupying too much space. It is convenient to deploy in narrow equipment compartments, masts and other positions
The signal stability shielding layer design is more in line with the flat structure, has strong anti-interference ability, reduces outdoor electromagnetic interference, and ensures the stable transmission of satellite signals
The waterproof and UV-resistant outdoor flat wire has an IP67 protection rating, can withstand high and low temperatures (-40℃ to +85℃), and is suitable for the all-weather installation environment of Starlink outdoors, thus extending its service life
