Thread: Starlink Mini Kit

Well that was a whoops. My Starlink Mini knockoff 2m cable turned up today from Aliexpress - 8 days to my letter box on Rural Delivery, every step tracked to perfection as per normal. Except it wasn't a 2m cable, it was a 5.5x2.1mm DC-DC male-female power adapter to allow you to use a different power supply cable in the back of the dish and still retain the IP67 watertightness rating (effectively a short sealed male plug and a female socket). Hmmm. Ahhh yep that'd be right, the cart had a stuff up on me and I had to reload it and restart the order and obviously didn't check the item was still correct - du'oh!

Oh well, go back and order the right one, this time a 5M cable so I have a bit more length. I found a car charger ex JB Hifi that has the same (or slightly higher) USB-C PD rating as the Starlink Mobile adapter kit's charger, $28 with the NZDA discount there which is much more acceptable than the $170 Starlink wants for the factory kit! Still waiting for Starlink to ship the damn thing though, probably have all the accessories and still be waiting for it to arrive.
