Description

StarTech FAN4EXT12 1ft 4-Pin PWM Fan Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech FAN4EXT12 is a 1-foot (12-inch) extension cable designed to increase the distance between a 4-pin PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) cooling fan and its motherboard or fan controller. This cable is essential when the original fan cable is too short to reach the desired connection point, particularly in larger chassis or custom builds where component placement requires flexibility. It ensures you can properly position fans for optimal airflow and thermal management within your system, maintaining the PWM control signal for precise fan speed adjustments.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any standard 4-pin LP4 PWM cooling fan and any motherboard or fan controller that provides a 4-pin fan header. It supports PWM fan control, allowing for variable speed operation based on system temperature or user settings. The 28 AWG wire gauge is suitable for typical fan power and control signals.

Installation Notes

The FAN4EXT12 features a durable black PVC jacket for reliable performance and easy integration into system builds. The cable's 12-inch length provides ample reach for most common extension needs without introducing excessive signal degradation. Simply connect the LP4 (4-pin PWM) connector from the fan to one end of the extension cable, and the other LP4 connector to your motherboard or fan controller.
