Starlink for RV - Cable Storage Reel
The perfect cable reel for your Starlink lead
You've invested in a Starlink for RV because you want a high quality internet connection, now you need to find a way of looking after it. We know how precious the connection cable is, and now you can have a beautiful, sturdy, tangle free, protection and storage system with Flat Out's Compact Multi-Reel.
The standard issue 23m lead fits on the Compact Multi-Reel, and the 46m option fits on our Narrow Multi-Reel. We also provide short lengths of flexible mini-conduit to protect the bend at the centre core.
Being data cable, for added convenience you can leave some length inside the Multi-Reel when in use. DO NOT do this with electrical lead, it will heat and melt. Customers have devised multiple ways to use the cable on the Multi-Reel; you can run it in end to end, or double it up and start at the fold so both ends poke out (half the winding), convert the centre end to an RJ45 female and so on. More setup info is below the products.

New Replacement Starlink Cable Option
After chats with many of you, we have learned that while you love the Starlink quality of internet, your 3 most common complaints are:
- The plugs are hard to use, and many are worried about damaging them with regular connecting/disconnecting.
- The cable is awkward to handle, time consuming to work with, and hard to keep protected while traveling.
- The cable seems to fail easily, and costs a lot to replace.
Using Flat Out Multi-reels will address item 2 and assist with item 3. For a full soluiton to all 3 issues listed above we have developed a package with Austraian cable manufacturer EXEcab. Check out our new 25m Outdoor Cat6 cable product below.

25cm length of flexible conduit, use this to protect the bend in the middle of your Starlink for RV cable or other network cable you wish to keep on the Compact Multi-Reel.
We have not found a need to do this for other leads, and it may also be overkill for your Starlink cable, but we feel for such a valuable item, we want to give it the best protection possible.
As network cable doesn't heat, you can use it while still leaving some coiled in the centre of your multi-reel. As such we recommend the best method for managing long network cables is to bend it at the middle and wind it into the Multi-Reel in twin-form. That way both plugs are accessible at whatever length you pull out.
Starlink Cable loading suggestion 1
Find the middle of the lead, add conduit and bend it into the centre core. Wind it in doubled up.
Starlink Cable loading suggestion 2
Keep 1m free and bundle it in the centre for storage, that way you can connect to your dish without taking the whole length out.
