Measure the distance between the dish location and the router. Keep the run as short and straight as possible. Avoid areas with sharp edges, heat sources or places where the cable could be stepped on or pinched.
Drill from inside to outside at a slight downward angle so water runs away from the wall. The hole must be large enough for the connector — forcing a connector through a tight hole is the number one cause of cable damage.
Starlink cable should never be bent sharply. Keep the bend radius generous — a good rule of thumb is at least 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) at any turn. Use grommets where the cable passes through metal or masonry, and conduit for long exposed runs.
Apply outdoor silicone sealant around the entry plate or grommet. Let it cure fully before testing. A drip loop just outside the wall stops water from following the cable inside.
After routing, check the connection in the Starlink app and verify signal quality. Walk around the cable run once more to confirm there are no kinks or tension points.
