StarTech TX3SPLIT12 12in TX3 Fan Power Splitter Cable - 2-Fan
Overview
The StarTech TX3SPLIT12 is a 12-inch fan splitter cable designed to connect two 3-pin TX3 fans to a single 3-pin motherboard fan header. This cable is essential for systems requiring more fan cooling than available headers provide, such as custom PC builds, server chassis, or specialized equipment where airflow management is critical. It allows you to expand your fan configuration without needing additional fan controllers or sacrificing header availability, ensuring optimal thermal performance for your components. The TX3SPLIT12 model specifically addresses the need to power two fans from one source, simplifying internal wiring.
Compatibility
This splitter cable is compatible with any standard 3-pin TX3 fan connector. It connects to a single 3-pin motherboard fan header (e.g., CHA_FAN, SYS_FAN). It is suitable for use with a wide range of PC cases, server enclosures, and custom-built systems that utilize 3-pin fan headers for cooling. The cable is designed to power two fans simultaneously from one header, provided the total power draw does not exceed the motherboard header's capacity.
Installation Notes
The cable features a 12-inch (1.0 ft) length, offering sufficient reach for most internal chassis configurations without excessive cable slack. The white color provides a clean aesthetic for builds where cable management and appearance are important. Ensure the total amperage draw of the two connected fans does not exceed the amperage rating of the motherboard's fan header to prevent damage. Each fan connector is a 3-pin TX3 type, allowing for basic speed sensing if the motherboard header supports it.
