Dishypowa 48V LFP and Starlink

What kind of connectors did you use for the input of the POE injector power if anything? Maybe those fork connectors since the little screw goes down through the center?

I'm trying to stuff plain stripped 10AWG in there and it's not making a great connection, maybe it's too big.

Think I used 16awg. I tried ferrules but they were too thick. The fork connectors I had were a bit too wide so I ended up clipping one of the legs off.

You could try it with ferrules, but 10 awg sounds way big for the small current that thing would use.

Yeah, you're right. The company said 12AWG or 14AWG as the max size. I bought 10AWG because that is the max size for the Orion, but I should have done some better research.

Yes it has been working great so far. I used the Orion-Tr48/48-6 to stablaize power and ended up purchasing the Yaosheng POE injector instead.

Also used thier cable adapter instead of hacking up the OEM Starlink cable.

What voltage did you set your Orion to put out to the POE injector? Nominal it says is 48.2V but I think it can be adjusted to output more. Did you output more?

No. I set it to 48V and that's been working well.

Got mine up and it's working well. Thanks for providing all the valuable info here.
