Here is DishyPowa, a 150W PoE injector custom-made for Starlink, and a
Starlink Ethernet Adapter. The non-standard plug will be cut off of the
ethernet adapter, and a regular ethernet plug will be added to plug into
DishyPowa. It looks like the same Ethernet will appear at two jacks,
because DishyPowa is made to work with a cut Starlink cable rather than the
Ethernet adapter. I will be able to directly power Starlink from the 48-56V
battery at my off-grid site, rather than the inverter I am using now, and I
can use my own router with the latest bufferbloat software, instead of
Starlink's wifi-router/power-supply. This will save me some power and
remove the inverter as a point of failure.

I like this for just wiring to a battery that acts as a UPS.

I’ve been wanting to have my Starlink backed up with a direct DC UPS, but
it bugs me that my UPS charges from mains AC, into DC, inverted back to AC
and converted to DC for Dishy. I’ll be happy to eliminate one of those
cycles. My routers and DSL modem are powered from those mini, LiFePo
battery banks that do 12, 9, 5 V with multi day runtime.
