Hi Support,
A splitter typically has a maximum of two ports: one for PoE in and one for Data. How can I power both a router and a Starlink Mini simultaneously?
Regards,
Bit.
I’m curious about this too, the documentation is somewhat vague on this so perhaps Peplink could clarify exactly what hardware they used when testing this setup as described.
Starlink states a 12-48v / 60w requirement for the Mini when on DC power, 20v / 100w if you use their USB-C cable.

The current “Splitter MAX” from Peplink only has one DC terminal output, and according to its data sheet cannot supply enough power, topping out at 48w.
There are splitters out there that can take in a 90w .bt based PoE supply and give you multiple power outputs with a single data passthrough, one example would be the Tycon POE-SPLT-BT-UNI-P, but that is very new and I’m not sure if it would fit in the enclosure, and even then that only provides up to 72w output, which if worst case 60w is required for the Starlink only leaves us 12w for the Peplink.
