I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJQ7HY56?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I don't have my mounted, I just throw it in the windshield and it works fine. I put some velcro on the back and on the dash to hold it in place. I do have a pole mount on my rear ladder in case it's snowing. This one works fine and has all three connection types, 12V, USB-C, and the normal barrel plug to use with the ac wall plug. This cable feels very high quality and is not expensive.

Personally I'd stay away from the "cable with 3 adapters at the end" until I see one which actually provides some tech specs on how they work.

I've tested and used all three connectors on multiple trips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJQ7HY56?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

1. I mainly use the 12V cigarette lighter (on the transit dashboard) while we are driving (with the starlink on the dash).

2. When I'm camping and it's not snowing I put the unit in the dash, and I use a USB-C 100W PD coming from the house battery.

3. And when it's snowing I use a direct 12V that comes from my house battery (a different cigarette lighter port), and mount it on a pole I have on my van outside so it can melt the snow.

That said, with the particular unit I linked above they all work fine YMMV. The specs are in the description, and the cable itself appears to be higher quality than the 12V 100 footer that ships with mini itself. Just my experience with the 3 in 1 I bought, it's been fine.

It's an expensive way to get 2 pass through connectors and USB-C PD marker cable.

Totally, I see what you mean. When I bought it it was on sale for a grand total of 18.94, which I thought was a good price. The starlink official one is $45 bucks. Looks like the price of these things has doubled 🧐.
