Short answer:
You need Starlink Standard 4's proprietary 57V PoE power supply (model UTP-253L). It takes 100–240V AC, 2.5A, 50/60Hz input and outputs 57V DC via PoE, with a maximum total output of 195W (the dish itself operates at approximately 56V DC).
Average system power consumption is 75–100W. A standard 48V PoE injector will not work.

| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | UTP-253L (Standard 4 PoE power brick) |
| AC Input | 100–240V ~ 2.5A, 50–60Hz |
| PoE Output | 57V DC (dish side ≈ 56V DC) |
| Max Total Output | 195W (≈ 57V / 3.42A equivalent) |
| Average Consumption | 75–100W (idle ≈ 20W) |
| Environmental Rating | IP66 (power supply), IP67 (dish) |
| Operating Temp | -30°C to 60°C (power supply) |
| Ports | 2 × RJ45: one to dish, one to Router Mini |

Many users assume Starlink works with off-the-shelf 48V IEEE 802.3af/at PoE injectors. It does not. Starlink Standard 4 requires a 56–57V DC proprietary PoE feed with sufficient current (>3A).
Using a 48V injector will cause the dish to fail to boot, reboot randomly, or run unstable — especially during cold-weather snow-melt (heating) mode when power demand spikes.
Although the dish averages only 75–100W, the original supply is rated 195W to handle startup transients, long cable runs, and snow-melt peaks.
When selecting a replacement adapter or UPS, size for the peak, not the average — plan a minimum of 120W load budget for dish-only backup, and 140–180W if also backing up a router/switch.
Never size a UPS solely on the 75–100W average.

Starlink Standard 4 (with Router Mini) uses the new 195W PoE brick (UTP-253L) and lets you connect a third-party router directly to the PoE port without needing the Starlink router. Starlink Standard 4 X (previously Gen 3, with Router 3) uses a different proprietary supply rated around 150W and binds power delivery to Router 3.
Always match the power supply to your exact kit generation.
