Starlink for RV - Cable Storage Reel
The perfect cable reel for your Starlink lead
You've invested in a Starlink for RV because you want a high quality internet connection, now you need to find a way of looking after it. We know how precious the connection cable is, and now you can have a beautiful, sturdy, tangle free, protection and storage system with Flat Out's Compact Multi-Reel.
The standard issue 23m lead fits on the Compact Multi-Reel, and the 46m option fits on our Narrow Multi-Reel. We also provide short lengths of flexible mini-conduit to protect the bend at the centre core.
Being data cable, for added convenience you can leave some length inside the Multi-Reel when in use. DO NOT do this with electrical lead, it will heat and melt. Customers have devised multiple ways to use the cable on the Multi-Reel; you can run it in end to end, or double it up and start at the fold so both ends poke out (half the winding), convert the centre end to an RJ45 female and so on. More setup info is below the products.

A mid-size cable reel perfect for up to 22m of extension lead and many other uses. It has the same diameter as the Original Multi-Reel for easy stacking, but can save you space if you don't need the full 30m capacity, as it is narrower in depth.
Cable Reel Use/Capacity Suggestions
- Up to 22m heavy duty extension lead/power cord
- 10m air compressor hose,
- 45m XLR cable (see our Muso page for instructions)
- 45m CAT5 or CAT6 network cable,
- 45m (150ft) Starlink network cable (dish to modem),
- 20m strip LED lighting,
- 30m coaxial cable...
25cm length of flexible conduit, use this to protect the bend in the middle of your Starlink for RV cable or other network cable you wish to keep on the Compact Multi-Reel.
We have not found a need to do this for other leads, and it may also be overkill for your Starlink cable, but we feel for such a valuable item, we want to give it the best protection possible.
As network cable doesn't heat, you can use it while still leaving some coiled in the centre of your multi-reel. As such we recommend the best method for managing long network cables is to bend it at the middle and wind it into the Multi-Reel in twin-form. That way both plugs are accessible at whatever length you pull out.
