Starlink Replacement SPX Cable – 5m (16.4ft) for Gen 2 Terminal

Description

Description

The Starlink Replacement SPX Cable – 5m (16.4ft) is a high-quality, compact replacement cable designed for the Starlink Gen 2 Standard Terminal. Ideal for short rooftop, wall, or shed-mounted installs, this cable offers superior electrical performance compared to factory Starlink cables, without excess length to manage.

Made using 24AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable significantly reduces voltage drop compared to the 26AWG used in most genuine and generic cables. The result is better power delivery, especially in DC-powered or off-grid systems where every volt counts.

Shielded with foil and a drain wire, and jacketed in CMX-rated outdoor UV-stable insulation, this cable is built to handle Australia's harsh climate. It comes pre-terminated with a Starlink-compatible IP67 waterproof plug at the terminal end, and a standard RJ45 at the other.

⚠️ Only compatible with Starlink Gen 2 Standard Terminals. Not suitable for Gen 3, Mini, High Performance, or Gen 1 models.
