Cable through a window
A window that never fully closes lets in drafts, bugs and rain, and pinches the cable every time it's shut.

Starlink Cable Routing: Hidden, Sealed and Protected
Most DIY Starlink setups end with a cable running across the roof, down the siding and through a cracked-open window. It looks messy, lets in drafts and bugs, and wears out in the Texas sun. Starlink cable routing is what we're named for. We run your Starlink wiring through the attic and inside the walls, seal every entry point, and put your router where it gives you the best signal.
Common cable problems
The Starlink cable problems we fix every week
A badly routed cable is more than an eyesore. It lets weather in, wears out early and often puts the router in the worst spot in the house.
Stapled down the siding
Cable tacked to the outside of the house is the first thing visitors see, and it's exposed to sun and wind every day.
Baking on the roof
Cable lying loose across shingles or metal wears out in the Texas sun and can flap in the wind.
Unsealed holes
A hole drilled through the wall with nothing around the cable lets water run straight inside.
Router in the wrong room
The router sits wherever the cable happens to end, so half the house gets weak Wi-Fi.
Cable across the floor
Loose cable snaking along baseboards and under rugs, waiting to be tripped over or chewed.
Hidden Starlink wiring
Starlink wiring you'll never see
From the dish to the router, every foot of cable is planned, protected and out of sight.
Routing Starlink Cable Through Walls and Attics
We plan the shortest clean path from the dish to your router, through the attic, down inside a wall and out a neat wall plate. You won't see the cable outside, and you won't see it snaking across the floor inside either.
Weatherproof Wall Penetrations: No Drafts or Leaks
Wherever the cable enters the house, we use a proper pass-through and seal it, with a drip loop so water runs off instead of in. Exposed outdoor sections go in protective conduit.
Extending Starlink to Your Office, Shop or Barn
Need internet in a detached office or shop? We can run cable or Ethernet to outbuildings, underground when needed, or link them wirelessly.
Tidy Router and Ethernet Setup
We mount or place your router out of the way, label the connections, and set up wired connections for TVs, desktops and gaming consoles. Depending on your Starlink kit, wired devices may need the Starlink Ethernet adapter. We'll tell you if yours does and connect it.
Hardwired CAT6 Ethernet Drops
Wi-Fi is convenient, but a cable is faster and steadier. We run CAT6 through walls and attics to a wall plate wherever you need it: the office desk, the TV, a gaming console or an access point in another part of the house.
Conduit Runs to Shops and Outbuildings
Cable that runs outside, along a wall or underground to another building goes in weatherproof conduit, protected from sun, wind, mowers and animals.
How we route it

Plan the route
We find the shortest clean path from the dish to the best spot for your router.
One sealed entry
A proper pass-through where the cable comes inside, sealed, with a drip loop.
Attic and walls
The cable runs through the attic and down inside a wall to a neat wall plate.
Connect and test
Router placed, wired devices connected and a speed test where you need it.

Starlink cable routing, answered
The questions people ask most about running and hiding a Starlink cable.
Can you run a Starlink cable through a wall?
Yes. The cable can pass through an exterior wall at a single, sealed entry point, and Starlink sells cable routing kits for exactly this. The one rule is not to damage the cable: Starlink notes that damage to the kit can void the warranty, so the cable is routed intact rather than cut or spliced. The standard kit includes about 50 ft of cable, and Starlink sells a 150 ft cable for longer runs.
How to hide a Starlink cable properly: 6 steps
- Measure the route first. Dish to router, including the climb through the attic. Over about 50 ft, order Starlink's longer cable.
- Pick one entry point. Usually under an eave or through a wall near the attic, never a window.
- Use a proper pass-through. A routing kit or sealed wall pass protects the cable and the wall.
- Add a drip loop. The cable dips below the entry point so rain runs off instead of in.
- Run it inside the house. Through the attic and down inside a wall to a neat wall plate by the router.
- Protect anything outdoors. Exposed sections go in conduit, out of the sun and wind.
Approximate lengths from Starlink and the Ethernet standard. Beyond these, we place the router near the dish and run Ethernet, or link buildings with a wireless bridge.
How long is the Starlink cable, and what if I need more?
Measure the route from the dish to where you want the router, then use this guide.
| Cable route, dish to router | What you need |
|---|---|
| Up to about 45 ft | The cable included with the standard kit (about 50 ft) |
| About 45 to 145 ft | Starlink's 150 ft cable, ordered from Starlink |
| Farther than that | Place the router near the dish, then run Ethernet from the router (up to 328 ft per run) |
| To a separate building | Ethernet in conduit, or a wireless bridge. See whole-property Wi-Fi |
Cable questions
Starlink cable routing FAQs
In most homes, yes. We run it through the attic and inside the walls to a neat wall plate near your router, so you won't see it outside or across the floor.
Usually one small, planned entry point where the cable comes inside. We use a proper pass-through, seal it, and add a drip loop so water runs off instead of in.
Yes. Our cable cleanup service re-routes the cable through the attic and walls and seals the old openings, without replacing your whole setup.
Yes. We can run cable or Ethernet to outbuildings, underground when needed, or link them wirelessly. See whole-property Starlink Wi-Fi.
Yes. We run CAT6 through walls and attics to hardwire TVs, desktops, consoles and access points for maximum speed.
Yes. Outdoor cable, runs along exterior walls and underground runs to outbuildings go in weatherproof conduit, and every wall penetration is sealed.
It depends on your kit. Some Starlink kits need the adapter for wired devices and some don't. We'll tell you if yours does and connect it.
The standard Starlink kit includes about 50 ft (15 m) of cable. Starlink also sells a 150 ft (45 m) cable for longer runs. We measure the route during the quote and tell you before install day if you need the longer one.
We don't. Starlink notes that damage to the kit can void the warranty, so we route the cable intact through a sealed pass-through or a Starlink cable routing kit instead of cutting it.
