Our HP 12V Conversion Box contains our POE injector and 12V to 56V converter inside, so you can run your Starlink High Performance dish straight off a 12V or 24V battery with an aftermarket router like a Peplink or GliNet (not included). This eliminates the need to run the HP router alongside your existing router, which cuts power consumption by roughly 10%, not including the inverter inefficiencies you also avoid. The converter and POE injector are both built in, so the box connects your dish directly to your aftermarket router with no extra hardware. The built-in 12V to 56V converter supplies the voltage the Starlink dish needs, and the integrated POE delivers power and data over a single Ethernet line. Simply connect the included 5-foot SAE cable to a 12V or 24V power source (DC input range is 10 to 30V) and plug your High Performance dish's Starlink Ethernet cable into the port labeled DISH. No cable cutting or crimping required. Compatible with most 12V and 24V battery systems, including lithium, as long as they stay within the 10 to 30V input range. ** Works with snow melt. Our POE and converter are rated for 320W, which is more than enough for Gen 3 snow melt. Power consumption tested over 1 hour with constant upload/download internet: approximately 83 Wh (6A at 13.8V). This does not include aftermarket router power consumption, which varies by model. Please select the appropriate connector for your application from the drop down: bare wire leads or ring terminals. Bare wire is ideal for custom installs. Ring terminals are ideal for direct battery connections. ** We recommend a 30A fuse on your 12V fuse block, or adding an in-line fuse on the positive lead sized to the included wiring. For 24V installations, use a 10A fuse. We recommend not lengthening the included cable. If you need more length, increase the wire size based on cable length and fuse size. Important Information Built specifically for the Starlink High Performance dish and designed for use with aftermarket routers such as Peplink and GliNet. It works with many aftermarket routers that support Starlink integrations. An aftermarket router is required and sold separately, though a GliNet AX3000 WiFi 6 router can be added at checkout. The box includes the integrated POE injector, 12V to 56V converter, and 5-foot SAE power cable. Commonly installed in RVs, camper vans, overland rigs, boats, and off-grid battery systems. Most customers install it themselves, but if you are not comfortable with DC wiring, fuse sizing, or battery connections, we recommend a qualified installer.
