Starlink line

The term "Starlink cable" has two core meanings in different contexts, corresponding respectively to the connection cables of user-end devices and the laser communication links between satellites. They play distinct but crucial roles in the Starlink system.
I. The Function of Starlink Cable at the User End
This refers to the dedicated cable connecting the Starlink satellite antenna (dish) and the router (router), mainly adopting PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology, integrating data transmission and power supply in one cable.
Detailed description of the core function
Integrated power supply and data transmission simultaneously provide power for satellite antennas and transmit high-speed network data, eliminating the need for additional power lines and simplifying the installation process of Starlink
To ensure signal stability, high-quality copper cores (typically 23-24AWG) are adopted, supporting data transmission rates up to 1000-2000Mbps and reducing signal loss
It is suitable for outdoor environments and features water resistance, weather resistance, and UV resistance, allowing for long-term use in harsh conditions such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures
Flexible deployment offers various lengths (15m, 23m, 45m, etc.), making it convenient for users to install antennas at different locations such as rooftops and courtyards, ensuring a clear view of the sky
Plug and play without complex configuration. After connection, it automatically recognizes the device and quickly establishes a network connection
Typical configuration: The standard Starlink kit includes a 15m (49.2ft) detachable PoE cable for connecting the antenna to the router, as well as a 1.5m AC power cord for connecting the router to the Starlink power socket.
