USB-C PD to DC Power Cable for Starlink Mini — 20 AWG, 2–10 m
This cable powers a Starlink Mini from a USB-C PD source instead of the mains. One end is USB-C male, the other is the DC male plug that fits the Mini dish. Plug the USB-C end into a PD power bank, a vehicle PD outlet, or a regulated USB-C supply, and the Mini runs without an AC inverter in the chain. Lengths: 2 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m.
A Starlink Mini normally runs from its own power supply. Out in the field that is not always handy. This cable takes power from a USB-C PD source instead: a power bank, a car or RV PD outlet, or a regulated USB-C supply.
The cable is 20 AWG with an outer diameter of about 4.0 mm, and both ends are molded with strain relief, so it holds up to being coiled, packed, and unpacked again. The four lengths — 2 m, 3 m, 5 m, 10 m — let you pick between a short run with less voltage drop and a longer run for flexible placement.
Two things to get right before ordering. First, the source has to be a real USB-C PD source that supports the voltage the Mini needs — see the power note below, because the source files disagree on the wattage. Second, this cable carries power only. It does not make power, boost it, or change it. If the source cannot deliver what the Mini asks for, the dish will not run properly.

Power note — read before ordering
The source files disagree on the power requirement, so the two figures below are not presented as agreeing:
- The TXTs say: use a PD source rated at 100 W or higher for dependable headroom.
- The product image (03.jpg) says: the PD source must support 20 V output, and 65 W or more.
- The image also shows a 65 W charger (5 V/3 A, 9 V/3 A, 12 V/3 A, 15 V/3 A, 20 V/3.25 A) and a 65 W power bank with a 20 V/3.25 A USB-C output.
The exact DC plug size (barrel dimensions are not stated anywhere in the source files) and the polarity are not stated.
Compatibility
Fits Starlink Mini only. This is a power cable for the Mini dish — it does not fit Gen 2, Gen 3, or High Performance equipment.
This is a third-party compatible accessory, not an official SpaceX product. Starlink is a trademark of SpaceX.
Application scenarios
- PD power-bank operation for camping and remote work
- Vehicle, RV, boat, and overland connectivity systems
- Emergency-response and portable communication kits
- Backup power for Mini installations
- Compact backup-power kits where an AC inverter would add bulk
