Highlights

Converter and Output Cable
The product photo shows the finned housing, separate input leads and round DC output plug. The small system illustration is for context, not a complete wiring diagram; the battery and Starlink equipment are separate.
A Direct DC Path
DC-to-DC conversion can be used in an appropriately designed battery installation without an AC inverter in the power path. Actual power use depends on the converter, wiring and Starlink load.
Router Power Connection
The plug connects to the Gen 3 Standard router power port. This cable does not connect directly to the dish or replace an Ethernet cable.
Plan the Input Circuit
The listed 4.5A is output current at 57V. The lower-voltage input has its own current, cable and protection requirements.

Good to Know
Caution
- For the matching Starlink Gen 3 Standard router power input only. Do not connect directly to a dish, Ethernet port, Gen 2 or an unmatched device.
- The output current is not the required battery input current.
- Disconnect DC power before wiring. Insulate and secure all terminations, provide suitable circuit protection and keep connections dry. Do not copy an illustration as a complete wiring diagram.
- No vehicle-specific electrical connection is supplied here.
- The converter rating does not establish operation under every startup or heating load.
Care
- Keep the housing ventilated and free of debris; do not cover the cooling fins.
- Keep wire joints and the plug connection dry. The listed IP67 body rating does not make an exposed wired system suitable for immersion.
- Disconnect power before inspecting or servicing damaged cables or connections.
FAQ
Does it power the dish directly?
The output plug is intended for the matching Gen 3 Standard router power input. Keep the proper router-to-dish cable and do not connect this output to a dish or Ethernet port.
Can I use it with Gen 2 or Mini?
This listing is for the Gen 3 Standard router. Does not fit Gen 2, Mini or other hardware that has a different power requirement or connector.
Does 4.5A mean the battery only needs to supply 4.5A?
No. That is the listed output current at 57V, not the input current.
Is it guaranteed to run Snow Melt?
No. The listed output rating is not a guarantee for every installation.
What is included with the cable-length options?
Each option is the converter with a 2 M or 3 M cable. Starlink equipment and the battery shown in illustrations are separate.
