In this tutorial and review video, I show you how to install the Starlink Cable Routing Kit. This kit from Starlink allows anyone to route the dish cable through an exterior wall for a clean, professional look. I do an unboxing, explain what tools are required, and show you the installation process step by step. Find out what I think of this kit in the review at the end of the video.

While I do like how clean your install is... I much prefer to put the cable in metal conduit to reduce the chance of someone cutting the wire, accidentally or intentionally.

I personally would like to use electrical pvc conduit pipes instead. Even though i fancy Starlink masonry routing kits, it's not advisable for me to leave wires in the open like that. I already had many CAT 5 cables chewed by rats, not small ones but those big ugly ones that are over 10 inches big. Hated those critters so much!

@marcussanders7557 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! Looks pretty easy! Only problem is that houses in most countries here in Europe are made of brick or concrete and stone. Unfortunately, the kits provided are not compatible, at least from what I see. Today is day one for our Starlink set but I have yet to figure out how I route the cable to the spot in the house where I need it. Do you have experience with the longer cables available in the shop? Is there a drop in speed when a longer cable is used? Thanks 🙏🏽

@marcussanders7557 6 месяцев назад

@StarlinkHardware 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I actually had to do this too. The grommets are easy to remove if you use a utility knife to cut the sealant first. Then they just pop out. You can replace the cable, add more sealant to at least the outside grommet before reinstalling.

@notakai9681 Месяц назад

@rb8049 5 месяцев назад

For safety, you should have a lightning arrestor with grounding per NEC code. The ground connection before entry to the house is a requirement.

@StarlinkHardware 5 месяцев назад

I did with my Gen 1, since it had Standard RJ45 connectors. Using a lightening arrestor with the Gen 2 cable and proprietary connectors is not possible without serious modification to the cable, which also voids the warranty on the cable, and potentially the dish itself. I agree any antenna on your roof should be grounded, but with Starlink, it's simply not practical, and therefore extremely rare for installs to be properly done to code.

@foordya Год назад

Why silicon inside? Hopefully the outside is sealed to prevent water from penetrating to interior wall.

@StarlinkHardware Год назад

To hold the grommet into the wall and prevent it from coming out with cable movement, and also as an air seal. You're right, exterior is where the water prevention happens, the inside seal is more about air and to "glue" the grommet to the wall.

Do we need to order the longer cable if we are having to do outside installation?

@daddyrabbit835 9 месяцев назад

I did. The cable that came with it seems far too short. You are really limited by the original length.

@StarlinkHardware 9 месяцев назад

The included cable is only 50 feet long, so if the mounting location is far away, it is best to order the 75' or 150' cable in advance in case you need it. You can always return the longer cable if you don't need it.

Why did you silicone the inside wall? If water gets through the outside hole, the water is in the wall already. Sealing the inside seems silly. The rest of the video showing the cable seems pretty good.

@StarlinkHardware 8 месяцев назад

The silicone holds the grommet into the wall, even for the inside one. It’s in the installation instructions to seal both sides.

I don't like the fact that you have to use their proprietary cable. I just had a house built and wired for cable and internet. But we live in the country and there is no internet service available. I had wished that I could just connect this to the wires that were ran when we built the house.

I'm not drilling a random big hole in my wall with knowing what's behind it. Fray some electrical wires and your insurance won't cover after it burns down. All over a crappy Elon device.

@MarkRobertson1 11 месяцев назад

Exactly. Never use anything other than a concrete drill bit as the other type of bits will sever electrical cables behind the wall when you hit them. A concrete bit will grab the wire and wrap it instead so you ate less likely to get a shock or cut your power

If the Router is fully waterproof why does it have to be inside?

@StarlinkHardware 9 месяцев назад

It's water resistant, but Starlink still says it is rated for indoor use only. Besides, you will want the router inside for a better Wifi signal. The more walls and objects the signal has to go through, the slower the connection will be.
