Starlink-compatible through-hull fitting - up to Ø30 mm connector, 8.5 mm cable - Black

The Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK is a watertight cable gland designed specifically for Starlink cable installations on boats or other structures requiring a clean and secure passage through a surface. It allows large connectors to pass through without disassembly while maintaining IP68 waterproofing.

This cable gland creates a watertight passage for Starlink cables through a deck or bulkhead. It protects connections from water and external elements, ensuring a clean and durable installation, particularly in marine environments.

The Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK deck gland is made of high-strength plastic, designed to withstand harsh marine conditions and wear.

The Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK deck gland is black.

The Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK deck gland has an IP68 waterproof rating. This means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand prolonged immersion, ensuring maximum protection in a marine environment.

Yes, the Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK deck pass-through is a marine product designed and distributed by Scanstrut, specifically suited to the demands and conditions of the marine environment.

The DS30-SL-BLK pass-through is compatible with the following Starlink antenna models:

Starlink High Performance / Performance (Gen 1)
Starlink Flat High Performance / Performance (Gen 2)

No, the DS30-SL-BLK deck gland is not compatible with the Starlink Standard (Gen 3), Enterprise (Gen 3), or Mini models. For these models, the Scanstrut DS16-SL deck gland is recommended.

The DS30-SL-BLK cable gland is designed to accommodate Starlink cable connectors with an outer diameter up to 30 mm (1.18 inches). This is the gland's internal diameter (ØB).

The DS30-SL-BLK cable gland is designed to seal a cable with a diameter of 8.5 mm after the wider connector has passed through the 30 mm opening.

The main difference lies in the size of the connector they can accommodate, and thus their compatibility with Starlink models:

The DS30-SL (or DS30-SL-BLK) is for connectors up to 30 mm and is compatible with Starlink High Performance (Gen 1) and Flat High Performance (Gen 2) antennas. The DS16-SL is for connectors up to 16 mm and is compatible with Starlink Standard, Enterprise, and Mini antennas.

Yes, the DS30-SL-BLK pass-through is specifically compatible with Starlink High Performance / Performance (Gen 1) and Flat High Performance / Performance (Gen 2) antennas.

No, one of the key benefits of the DS30-SL-BLK through-hull fitting is that it is designed so the Starlink cable connector can pass through the seal without needing to be cut or disassembled. This greatly simplifies installation and reduces the risk of cable damage.

The recommended hole diameter for the main through-hull mounting is 56 mm (2.2 inches).

For pilot holes for mounting screws (screw #6), recommendations vary depending on the deck material:

For soft materials (e.g., plywood), a 2.5 mm (3/32 in) diameter is suggested. For hard materials (e.g., fiberglass, acrylic, hardwood), a 3 mm (1/8 in) diameter is suggested.

The kit includes an O-ring with a thickness of 20.5 mm (0.81 inches), which matches the D dimension of the product. This O-ring is designed to fit the deck thickness and ensure effective sealing.

Yes, the Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK deck pass-through is designed to be easy to install. Its design allows Starlink cable connectors to pass through without disassembly, significantly simplifying the installation process.

The Scanstrut DS30-SL-BLK deck gland provides a clean and secure installation by allowing the connector to pass through without cutting, its IP68 waterproof rating, and the use of high-strength plastic. It offers an organized solution for cable routing while protecting connections from external elements.
