Starlink Mini Power Requirements
The Starlink Mini has a 12–48V DC power input rating and 60W maximum rating. Starlink states that performance is guaranteed with the original Starlink power supply and cable.
For users who want to power the Mini through USB-C, Starlink requires a USB Power Delivery source rated at 100W with 20V/5A output. Starlink specifically states that USB-PD sources rated at 65W or lower will not power the Mini.
Reliable Power for Starlink
A suitable power supply is essential for reliable Starlink operation. The Starlink Mini typically consumes around 20–40W during normal operation and about 15W when idle, although actual consumption can vary with temperature, location and usage.
Using the correct power source helps ensure that the Starlink system receives adequate power during normal operation.
Compact Design
The power adapter is designed to fit conveniently into a Starlink installation. Its compact form makes it practical for desks, network cabinets, home offices and other locations where space is limited.
For permanent installations, place the power supply in a dry and adequately ventilated location. Follow the installation requirements for the specific Starlink model.
Replacement and Spare Power Supply
This adapter can be useful when you need a replacement for an existing Starlink power supply. It can also serve as a spare for users who operate Starlink at different locations.
Having an additional power supply can reduce setup time when moving equipment between home, office, vehicles or remote locations.

A reliable power supply is an important part of any Starlink installation. A genuine or correctly specified replacement can help keep your system operating without unnecessary downtime.
