Starlink Standard Motorizzato protetto con Plate Shield

Plate Shield is a hail protection cover for Starlink plates, with "tool-less" installation.

It is made of compact 4mm UV transparent polycarbonate.

The material is radio-translucent, which means that the satellite signal can pass directly through the cover, without affecting performance. The polycarbonate material is resistant to impacts and UV rays for 10 years.

Plate Shield is made of two thicknesses, 3 and 4 mm. Although it is a plastic polymer, polycarbonate is very resistant and effectively counteracts shocks and fractures. Having UV protection, it presents almost total transparency and the unalterability of its qualities even under the sun, without ever turning yellow. Once installed, it's almost invisible and you won't even realise it's installed on your Starlink dish.

The reinforced anti-hail polycarbonate is tested by launching spherical polyamide bullets with a diameter between 35 mm and 45 mm and a weight between 33 grams and 43 grams each, then certified according to the UNI 1089:2000 standard of 06/30/2000.

Plate Shield is a 100% Italian product. Polycarbonate sheets are produced in Italy: The design, processing and packaging are carried out exclusively by Italian companies.

All you have to do is remove it from the packaging, remove the anti-scratch protective adhesive (if desired) and slide Plate Shield on the Plate, from top to bottom.
