How to Install the Starlink Cable Routing Kit: A Simple DIY Guide

Running your Starlink cable through a wall doesn’t have to be a headache. With the official Starlink Cable Routing Kit, the process is straightforward, clean, and surprisingly quick. This affordable $32 kit gives you everything you need to tackle a wall install confidently.

What’s Included in the Kit

Inside that neat little package, you’ll find:

• A spade drill bit (¾″)

• A smaller pilot drill bit

• A cable routing tool

• Silicone sealant

• A pair of grommets

• Several wall clips to secure the cable

It’s basically everything except the drill—and that’s probably something you already have in your toolbox.

Tools You’ll Need

• A drill

• A stud finder (optional, but helps avoid surprises)

• A pencil for marking the hole (optional)

That’s it. No fancy tools, no hidden gadgets—just simple and practical.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Plan Your Hole Location

Choose a spot that avoids plumbing or electrical lines. If you have a stud finder, use it to mark a clear, open section of wall.

2. Drill the Pilot Hole

Start from inside and angle the pilot hole slightly downward. This helps guide any moisture away from your wall after installation.

3. Enlarge the Hole

Use the included spade bit to enlarge the hole from the inside just past the drywall. Then head outside and finish drilling through the siding or sheathing—stop when you reach the wall cavity.

4. Pull the Cable Through

Attach the Starlink cable to the routing tool and gently feed it through the hole from the inside to the outside. Make sure you leave a little extra for a neat service loop before connecting to the dish.

5. Clip and Loop for Safety

Secure the cable to the wall with the provided clips and create a drip loop underneath the entry point—this ensures rain runs safely away from the hole.

6. Seal with Grommets

Slide the grommets onto the cable (cutout facing down), then apply a bead of silicone sealant around the hole and around the cable inside the grommet. Repeat on both interior and exterior surfaces to keep moisture and drafts at bay.

Why It’s Worth Using

• Clean, professional look: No exposed gaps, no sloppy holes.

• Everything you need—minus the drill. Starlink includes thoughtful tools like the routing tool and drilling bits that most people don’t have.

• Weather-resistant seal: The grommets and silicone keep water and air where they belong—outside.

What Others Are Saying

One user mentioned that the kit’s grommet is sized perfectly for a ¾″ hole in a 1 3/8″ thick wall. Others appreciate how the kit avoids guesswork and helps make wall installations run smoothly.

Final Thoughts

The Starlink Cable Routing Kit transforms a messy job into a clean, manageable project—perfect for DIYers. For around $32, you’re not just buying parts—you’re investing in peace of mind and a polished final look. If you're setting up Starlink and want a tidy finish, this kit is a no-brainer.
