Fan-Cooled Rooftop Power Hub for Starlink Mini
Before you order: Starlink Mini terminal, vehicle wiring, rack-specific fixings and optional magnetic feet or brackets are not included. Free shipping Australia-wide. If you need the hub for a trip, contact Admin@kettlecustoms.com to check dispatch timing before ordering.
A lockable roof mount for Starlink Mini, with an integrated DC-DC converter, thermostat-controlled cooling, a stepped 6mm UV-stable acrylic lid and a moulded elastomer terminal cover. Designed and built in Somerville, Victoria, for touring, caravan and vehicle installations.
Power and Cooling in One Enclosure.
Manufactured from CNC laser-cut and folded 3mm aluminium and built in Somerville, Victoria, this is the smallest footprint enclosure we have made. The DC-DC converter, the cooling system and the terminal connections are all integrated, so the vehicle connection is a fused 12V supply to the hub's Anderson input. Vehicle wiring and suitable rack fixings must be supplied separately.
Key Features
The most compact enclosure we have built
The smallest footprint in the range, so it takes up less roof rack or platform space while still carrying the full power and cooling system.
Integrated DC-DC converter
The built-in converter supplies a regulated 30V output to the Starlink Mini. Use a fused 12V vehicle feed and follow the input rating and installation instructions supplied with your unit.
Thermostat-controlled cooling
Cooling is switched by an automotive thermostat switch, so the fans work when the temperature calls for it rather than running constantly.
Stepped 6mm acrylic lid
UV-stable acrylic with a stepped face that sheds water off the lid instead of letting it pool, and adds impact protection over a flat thin cover.
Moulded elastomer terminal cover
A moulded cover sits between the dish and the mount, helping dampen vibration and holding the terminal steady inside the enclosure.
Designed and built in Somerville
CNC laser-cut and folded 3mm aluminium, assembled with stainless hardware and given a durable finish.
A Lid Designed to Shed Water.
The stepped lid profile is designed to encourage water to drain from above the terminal.
The 6mm UV-stable acrylic lid provides a protective cover over the terminal. Actual reception depends on the installation, sky visibility and weather conditions.
Thermostat-Controlled Cooling.
The cooling system runs from vehicle 12V through the integrated DC-DC converter and is switched by an automotive thermostat switch.
It is designed to help reduce the likelihood of heat-related throttling when the Starlink Mini is working in harsh outdoor conditions.
One Supply To The Roof.
Because the converter and the cooling system are inside the enclosure, the only thing that has to reach the roof is a 12V supply, connected using Anderson connections.
Supply a suitably fused 12V feed terminated in an Anderson plug and the correct mounting hardware for your rack. ARB BASE Rack mounting blocks and Rhino-Rack channel nuts are not included. Magnetic feet and vehicle-specific brackets are separate accessories. Have a qualified auto electrician carry out vehicle wiring, and check rack load limits, clearances and hardware compatibility before installation.
Installation features
- Compact mounting footprint
- Single 12V vehicle supply
- Anderson connections for the supply
- Converter and cooling already integrated
Durability and Protection.
Constructed from CNC laser-cut and folded 3mm aluminium with a stepped 6mm UV-stable acrylic lid, the hub is built for permanent outdoor mounting. Stainless hardware is used throughout, the latch is a lockable push-to-close zinc alloy unit, and the housing has a durable finish.
