Starlink Gen 2 Large-Shell RJ45 Adapter Pair — Angled + Straight Leads, 2 x 0.5 m
A two-lead adapter set for Starlink Gen 2 with large injection-moulded coupler shells. The angled lead goes on the router side, the straight lead on the dish side. Each lead ends in a waterproof RJ45 female socket with a cap, so the long run between them can be an ordinary shielded Ethernet cable. If the middle cable wears out, you replace that cable, not the Starlink leads.
Gen 2 Starlink cables end in a plug you cannot buy off the shelf. When the run has to pass through a wall, a conduit, a rack or a vehicle, a fixed cable is hard to work with. This pair breaks the run into three parts: a short lead at the dish, a short lead at the router, and a normal Ethernet cable in between. The two leads are not the same. One is angled — that one is for the router side. The other is straight, for the dish side. Both leads are about 0.5 m long. The coupler shells are the large grey injection-moulded type, with a threaded cap that covers the RJ45 socket when it is not in use, and moulded strain relief where the cable meets the shell. The black screw-on coupler parts that join the middle cable are marked M20 / RJ45. The leads are built from 24 AWG CAT5e FTP cable with copper conductors, a ground wire, Mylar and foil shielding, and a PVC jacket. The RJ45 sockets use a T568B pinout — check your wiring before you power the system up. What you get is the pair of leads. The long Ethernet cable between them is not included — you supply it, in the length your route needs. Keep the total run between dish and router under 175 ft, per the pictures. If you run through a POE injector, the pictures put that limit at 75 ft between dish and injector. Seal every outdoor joint.

- Waterproof rating: IP68, as shown in the pictures
- Data: Gigabit-class when paired with correctly terminated, shielded Ethernet cable
- Middle-run Ethernet cable (not included): shown in the pictures as shielded CAT6 / 26 AWG bare copper — a different cable from the adapter leads
- Product series: XL-RJ45-V2 Injection-Molded Adapter Series
- Third-party compatible accessory, not an official SpaceX product. Starlink is a trademark of SpaceX.
Compatibility
Fits Starlink Gen 2 / V2, per the source files and the pictures, which show the Gen 2 dish and the Gen 2 router. The source files do not list which dishes it does NOT fit. The plug is the Gen 2 SPX type, so it is expected not to fit Gen 3 hardware, which uses a different plug — but that exclusion is not written in the source files, so confirm it with the supplier before printing it. Compatibility is “Gen 2 only as stated”; anything beyond that needs a check.
Application scenarios
- Gen 2 cable repair without replacing the complete run — swap the damaged middle section
- Routing through walls, conduits, racks, RVs and boats
- Temporary event, field office and remote-site networks
- Installer kits that need a reusable interface conversion
