Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What size hole is needed for the Starlink cable?

A 3/4" hole is needed for Starlink cable as the size of the cable end at its widest point is 0.6". Use a 3/4" spade drill bit to get this done. A 1" drill bit can also do the job but the hole is going to be too big to fill.

What is the diameter of the Starlink pole?

The Starlink pole (mast) has two diameters. The diameter is 1.5" up to the first 7.87" inches from the base and then the diameter shortens to 1.34" for the next 2.16" length.

    Thanks for the article. The dimensional info is great. My Starlink equipment is at my cabin 2 hours away and remote, and I'm trying to figure out the install before heading up there. My question is the hole diameter I need to drill thru the wall. Your article clearly says 3/4", but I think that the cable head I have with my Gen 2 dish is a rigid "T", not as flexible as the one in your photo appears. I did bend the cable to see how tight a radius the cable would take, and I think I need something on the order of a 1.5" hole thru the width wall.
    Do you know whether I've remembered / described an alternative cable head to the one you've shown, and if so what size hole you'd recommend?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the detailed dimensions. I found the page when looking for dimensions for a dome, like is found on ships to protect the dish from the weather. Where I live, the weather is a bit severe for the naked starlink dish. What I am looking for is a diameter (or radius given the dish pivots on a post) for an appropriate dome...I am supposing that would be about an inch or so larger that the longest dimensions. You supplied edge dimensions (20-1/4" x 12") but not diagonal. I guess I could apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

    Thanks for the effort to spell the dimensions out, it helps.
    However: This inch-and-foot addiction of the North Americans is annoying. The (almost) entire world has changed to metric - and it seems the general attitude is "We are too big and important to change". That change is overdue by 100 years.
    Imagine you only would have to pay for one set of tools, wrenches, nuts...

    At the base, the central hole in the Starlink base with a diameter of 1.35" has a notch or keyway to keep the dish from spinning in the round hole. Is it possible to determine the width, depth and length of this notch/keyway? Referenced from the bottom of the 1.35" hole if possible.
