- Industrial-Grade Protection: ±8KV surge protection (differential mode) and ±15KV ESD air discharge protection (Class A).
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install your EDUP Starlink Mini PoE Injector and Splitter Kit.
4.1 Compatibility Check
This kit is exclusively designed for the Starlink Mini Dishy (2024 & 2025 Version). It is not compatible with other Starlink terminal models.
Figure 4: Compatibility chart showing the EDUP kit is compatible only with Starlink Mini Dishy (2024 & 2025 Version).
4.2 Connection Steps
- Connect the Starlink Mini dish to the PoE Splitter. The splitter has a DC power plug and an RJ45 connector for this purpose.
- Connect an extended network cable (Cat5e or higher) from the PoE Splitter to the PoE Injector. This cable carries both power and data.
- Connect the LAN port of the PoE Injector to your router or PC using a standard network cable.
- Connect a 9-36V DC power source to the PoE Injector's power input terminals (Positive Pole, Negative Pole, Ground). Ensure correct polarity.
- Verify the indicator light on the PoE Injector illuminates, indicating power is supplied.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EDUP Starlink Mini PoE Injector and Splitter Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to Starlink Mini / Injector indicator light off | Incorrect or no DC power input; faulty cable connection; incorrect polarity. | Verify the DC power source (9-36V) is connected and functional. Check all power cable connections and ensure correct polarity. Ensure the PoE Injector is receiving power. |
| No internet connection / Data not transmitting | Faulty Ethernet cable; incorrect connection order; incompatible Starlink model; issue with router/PC. | Ensure all Ethernet cables are securely connected and undamaged. Confirm the connection order as per Section 4.2. Verify your Starlink Mini is compatible (Figure 4). Test with a different router or PC if possible. |
| Slow network speeds | Low quality or damaged Ethernet cable; network congestion; Starlink service issue. | Replace Ethernet cables with Cat5e or higher quality. Check for other devices consuming bandwidth. Contact Starlink support if the issue persists and is not related to the kit. |
| Physical damage after electrical event | Severe power surge or lightning strike exceeding protection limits. | While the device has surge protection, extreme events can cause damage. Disconnect power immediately. Contact support for potential replacement under warranty. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact EDUP customer support.
