The Starlink Gen 3/Gen 4 cable is an outdoor-rated shielded Ethernet (PoE) cable designed to carry both power and data between the Starlink dish and its router/power unit in a single line. It uses fully shielded twisted pairs with a weather-resistant jacket to reduce interference and withstand outdoor conditions, supports speeds up to approximately 1 Gbps, and is typically available in lengths ranging from 15 m (50 ft) to 45 m (150 ft). The cable commonly uses 24–26 AWG conductors for efficient power delivery over distance and features weather-sealed RJ45 (8P8C) connectors for secure, moisture-resistant connections.
