I sell various 12V cables for the Starlink Mini

They’re almost universally returned

If it were me I’d just bite the bullet and make it a 48V only device to simplify things

Current arrangement is just a headache for non-technical consumers

I’m agnostic to the connector but really frustrated with consumers expecting any old 12-24 volt source will work

How long are the 12V cables?

I run my Mini on my truck at LFP voltage and it does fine at about 10 feet. Before I cut and shortened the provided Mini power cable, I tried it at full length, and the voltage drop was too much.
